The Last Cheap Motel

There's a stain beside the curtain
There's a chair against the latch
You are counting out the loose change
For another night like that
I can laugh about the carpet
But I'm tired of moving on

The last cheap motel
Let us mean it when we say
We can keep the part that's reckless
Without running every day

I put down the little key tag
You put coffee in my cup
I can call the job back Monday
You can look a room up close
We don't have to lose the laughter
Just to get ourselves a home

The last cheap motel
Let us mean it when we say
We can keep the part that's reckless
Without running every day

I was scared you'd find me boring
If I ever settled down
You said boring sounds like breakfast
In a kitchen of our own

The last cheap motel
Let us mean it when we say
We can keep the part that's reckless
Without running every day

The last cheap motel
Leave the key beside the bell
