Motion Pictures (Live)

[Intro]
This is another new one
I know you haven't heard a lot of these songs
I haven't had a chance to sing 'em for people, so
This is a song right here, um
A song I wrote in a— in a motel room in, uh, Los Angeles
We were trying some honey slides, you know, with—
You know what a honey slide is?
Honey slides, mm
That's just, you know
Real poor-grade marijuana
Worst you can get on the street, you know
Anyway, back to the motel
We were just sittin' around havin' a few honey slides
And they slow you down quite a bit, you know
There's nothin' to really get fast for anyway
And this song just sorta came as we were all
Sittin' around, just playin' these chords
Playin' with my friends, Rusty Kershaw and Ben Keith
Just sittin' around a motel room
'Til the weed was gone

[Verse 1]
Motion pictures on my TV screen
A home away from home and I'm living in between
But I hear some people have got their dream
I've got mine

[Verse 2]
I hear the mountains are doing fine
Morning glory is on the vine
And the dew is fallin', the ducks are callin'
Yes, I've got mine

[Verse 3]
All those people, they think they got it made
But I wouldn't buy, sell, borrow or trade
Anything I have to be like one of them
I'd rather start all over again

[Verse 4]
Well, all those headlines, they just bore me now
'Cause I'm deep inside myself, but I'll get out somehow
And I'll stand before you and I'll bring a smile to your eyes
In motion pictures, motion pictures

[Interlude]
Thank you
