sunset motel

found me there on the ground

you dusted me off

turned me around

got me off of that stuff

but i'm just a man

flesh

blood

and bone

trouble seems to find me when i'm left alone

so if i should stumble

if i should slide

keep me from going to the other side

don't turn me away

don't leave me out in the cold

you know that i've only got one place to go

just like the last time

it won't work out well

don't let me go back to the sunset motel

don't let me go back to the sunset motel

when you've been all you can be

you've done all you can do

seems fair to me they would do the same for you

did you shake your head and smile while they tell you go to hell?

you'll find what you need at the sunset motel

so baby hold me close and say you'll never let me go

i don't even know who i am no more

don't turn me away

don't leave me out in the cold

you know that i've only got one place to go

just like the last time

it won't work out well

don't let me go back to the sunset motel

don't let me go back to the sunset motel

four walls to hold me

locked up inside

where the same thing that kills you is what keeps you alive

no hope for redemption

no safe place to fall

just a paradise waiting to escape from it all

so baby

when the darkness tries to pull me back in

keep me from going down that road again

don't turn me away

don't leave me out in the cold

you know that i've only got one place to go

just like the last time

it won't work out well

don't let me go back to the sunset motel

please don't let me go back to the sunset motel
