[Verse 1]
I'm not alone, there's a Bible and a telephone
TB that keeps flashing off and on
It's as broken as the world outside
But down the hall, there's a bar with no last call
Ms. Jenkins pokes the drinks that make me fall
Hell of a place to run and hide
[Chorus]
At the Midway Motel, thirty miles down Highway 5
Everybody's got a story they're trying to tell
You can run away or hold on
You can buy or you can sell
You get what you want
At the Midway Motel
[Verse 2]
Corner booth there's a girl that’s lookin' for the truth
With a pain in her eyes that can make me cry
Oh if she could go back in timе
And look at him, no scars and a crooked grin
Thinking that the world is his
Who am I to change his mind?
[Chorus]
At thе Midway Motel, thirty miles down Highway 5
Everybody's got a story they're trying to tell
You can run away or hold on
You can buy or you can sell
You get what you want
At the Midway Motel
[Verse 3]
I keep a key that opens up 203
It's got everything that I need when I wanna leave it all behind
[Chorus]
At the Midway Motel, thirty miles down Highway 5
Everybody's got a story they're trying to tell
You can run away or hold on
You can buy or you can sell
You get what you want
At the Midway Motel
