Loveless Motel lyrics

[Verse 1]
It used to be a motel
Now they serve biscuits and t-shirts
I bring my own tea bag
'Cause I don't trust the coffee
But the biscuits are delicious
They come eight to a plate with a big block of butter
And homemade peach preserves

[Verse 2]
And I wish you were here, my arrogant lover
I'd make you eat grits and the red-eyed gravy
Make you sit down with the southern ladies
With the blue pantsuits
Talk about Jesus, talk about the weather
Watch you squirm as I told them we were married
With two girls

[Verse 3]
I'd say you were in trucking and I was a teacher
In a Christian school where the kids are good
And they don't do drugs and they save themselves
Before they're married
I wouldn't tell them that you had a wife
That wasn't me and we just had sex
And they wouldn't be impressed if I told them
You knew Lou Reed
[Bridge]
And the stars upon the wall
Look down at me like gods
There's Ernest Borgnine and Billy Ray Cyrus
And my favorite, Minnie Pearl

[Verse 4]
So I go for the coffee
It's not bad just a little weak
And I ask the waitress for another plate
Of the famous biscuits
She said, "You must have a bottomless pit"
I said, "You don't know the half of it
Lately I've been so hungry"

[Bridge]
And the stars upon the wall (Stars upon the wall)
Look down at me like gods (Down at me)
Minnie she just shakes her head
She said, "Girl, get your heart out of the frying pan"

[Outro]
It used to be a motel
Now they serve biscuits and smoked ham
I write you a postcard
From the loveless motel
