Motel 6
Verse 1:
The walls are peach and the door is what
Can only be called sea green
I have to admit I'm not crazy
About their color scheme
But the price is right and they know my name
So I guess here's where I'll stay
Since that guy from Homer, Alaska
Took over my house across the bay
Chorus:
I'm livin' in a Motel 6
Just as lonesome as a man can get
'Cause my wife is leavin' the light on
For a guy named Tom Bodett
Verse 2:
The shower is sort of circular
With a curtain that almost works
And the towels are about as thin
As the fabric on my shirt
But the price is right and they know my name
And there's cable on a color TV
But when the voice of that guy from Homer comes on
A little light dies inside of me
Chorus:
I'm livin' in a Motel 6
Just as lonesome as a man can get
'Cause my wife is leavin' the light on
For a guy named Tom Bodett
Verse 3:
If there's any justice in this world
If karma's what it's supposed to be
Then Tom will lose his voice-overs
And he'll have to trade places with me
Well, the price is right and they'll know his name
And he can have the room I'm in
And that guy from Homer, Alaska
Can have the motel light left on for him
Chorus:
I'm livin' in a Motel 6
Just as lonesome as a man can get
'Cause my wife is leavin' the light on
For a guy named Tom Bodett

Waiting for you to show
So we could go do something somewhere
But I didn’t know that it would
Take so long for you

I got a new computer
Don't know how to turn it on
I've heard of cybersex
I must be doing it all wrong
