Room 228

There's a dozen dusty roses in a picture on the wall
A phone there on the table if you need a wake-up call
But there ain’t no room service
No pool and no valet
Just a single bed and dresser here in room 228

There's a hint of jasmine perfume
From a cheating woman's neck
Johnny Walker whiskey and half smoked cigarettes
There’s a quarter for a phone call a lover never madе
These walls could tell somе secrets here in room 228

Live and die
And laugh and cry
In here it's all the same
Rich or poor
Or healed or broken
No one's here to stay
The winners and the losers
The sinners and the saints
We're all just passing through here in room 228

There's heart there on the headboard
Underneath the paint
Carved by two teenagers on their wedding day
There's a dog eared King James bible
If you need to ease your pain
It's saved a couple lost souls here in room 228

Live and die
And laugh and cry
In here it's all the same
Rich or poor
Or healed or broken
No one’s here to stay
The winners and the losers
The sinners and the saints
We’re all just passing through here in room 228

There's a dozen dusty roses
In a picture on the wall
A phone there on the table
If you need a wake-up call
