Check Out Time

Chorus:
Hotel keys are what I'm holding
It's room number 225
Hotel keys are what I'm holding
I'm here but I'm barely alive

Had a hotel room in Tennessee
What the hell is going on below me?
Voices scattered in rows
Up through the floors
Silence was shattered
By the slamming of the doors

Chorus

Well a busted sign said "Vacancy."
It all seemed like a mess to me
All I wanted was a good night's rest
I'm sick and I'm tired
And I couldn't care less

--Instrumental--

It's gonna come quick that quarter til four
It's ten after three
And I just spilled some more
Red light numbers are set
And it's gonna be sad
I won't get no sleep
For a deal that's gone bad

Chorus

When the headlights came
It was over fast
They were out of there
By a quarter past
Yeah I know they all went down the line
Blood-shot eyes at check out time

Chorus

I'm here but I'm barely alive
