lyrics

(highway motel)

He has a nice car and a wife in a different state
And he calls me baby like it costs him nothing to say
And there is a motel on the 10 with a sign that only half works
And I know the woman on the desk by her first name now

And my mother would die
And my mother did worse at my age
And nobody ever wrote a song about her, which is the difference

Highway motel, highway motel
I look so good in a room I would never live in
Highway motel, highway motel
And the light through those curtains is the prettiest thing I own

I am not sad about it. That is what nobody believes.
I chose every single part of this and I would choose it again.

Highway motel, highway motel
I look so good in a room I would never live in
Highway motel, highway motel
And the light through those curtains is the prettiest thing I own

(the prettiest thing I own)
