Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties The Thunderbird Inn Lyrics

People are starting to tear down their Christmas lights
It never got cold here but they know that the season's died
And I've been sleeping in a motel off 95
I don't really mind it much
The clerk at the desk is nice
Well, he pours me a coffee and asks me if it's been a long night

Well, I found a bar that's just outside the township line
And I go there most every night
I drank my last paycheck dry
And outside, a homeless man asks me for change and I
I look him straight in his eyes
He starts to apologize
Tells me "God's got a plan for me and that it'll be alright"
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic

The owner's been giving me a break on my rent this week
He says that I'm good for it
Well, I joke how I'm probably
But I came up short again and nobody's laughing
So I'll sneak out at 2 am
I can't do it honestly
Well, I know I'm a coward and I feel a bad night coming
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic

So pour me another drink for a daughter I'll never meet
A wife who don't love me and a cold cup of coffee
So pour me another drink and I'll count my blessings
Got a half tank of gas left and this bottle ain't empty
