Well out on the bypa** Not too far, There's a joint that's a jumpin' When they close up the bars Well if walls could talk Man, the stories they'd tell Holding up the roof on a cheap motel Holding up the roof on a cheap motel You can rent 'em all night But they're cheaper by the hour The towels are clean But they still smell sour The night clerk's smiling 'Cause he's usually stoned But you can do out there What you can't do at home There's a cigarette burn On the table by the bed And a king james bible That's never been read If walls could talk Man, the stories they'd tell Holding up the walls on a cheap motel Holding up the walls on a cheap motel They got a cinder block wall So you can't be seen Walking out naked By the ice machine Keep it hush-hush Cause you never can tell Who you'll see walking 'Round a cheap motel There's a cigarette burn On the table by the bed And a king james bible That's never been read If walls could talk Man, the stories they'd tell Holding up the roof on a cheap motel Holding up the roof on a cheap motel Hey! Just holdin' up the roof Just a-holdin' up the roof on a cheap motel
