"Cheap Motels And Cigarettes" | Country Song

Описание: Lyrics:
Neon halos flicker slow,
Vacancy sign in afterglow,
Dusty wind and radio,
Nowhere left for us to go.
Boot heels scrape on parking stones,
Payphone hums with broken tones,
You said, “We ain’t got much to show,”
I said, “We got this road to roam.”

*Cheap motels and cigarettes,*
Empty hearts and unpaid debts,
Midnight love and silhouettes,
Cheap motels and cigarettes.
Neon dreams and no regrets,
Tangled sheets and roulette bets,
If this life’s a losing bet,
I’ll lose with you — don’t you forget.

Coke machine and candy bars,
Counting trains and counting stars,
Rusty trucks and busted cars,
Love that never travels far.
You in boots and summer dress,
Whiskey words I must confess,
Every kiss a sweet excess,
Every night a little less.

*Cheap motels and cigarettes,*
Paper cups and TV sets,
Lonely hearts in duets,
Cheap motels and cigarettes.
Every promise that we kept,
Every tear we never wept,
If the truth is all that’s left,
It’s your name inside my breath.

Spanish songs on AM waves,
Border moon our hearts enslaved,
We were wild and we were brave,
Two-step ghosts we couldn’t save.
Room 23, a lonely bed,
Dreams we never truly said,
Ashtray full of words we bled,
Love that lived but played dead.

*Cheap motels and cigarettes,*
All our sins and all our debts,
Midnight laughs and silhouettes,
Cheap motels and cigarettes.
If I lose and if you win,
Spin that wheel and spin again,
Every road we wander in
Leads me back to where you’ve been.

Now I drive those roads alone,
Neon buzzing like a drone,
Every town a stepping stone,
Every mile a dial tone.
But when midnight skies get wet,
And the air tastes like regret,
I still taste your silhouette—
Cheap motels and cigarettes.

*Cheap motels and cigarettes,*
All we loved and can’t forget,
If forever’s all we get,
It was cheap… but heaven yet.
