verse 1
C G7
The miles roll by and your back is wet and the shadows grow so long
G7 C
it seems a million miles, and a long, long while since you turned that motor on
C C7 F
The three piece suit on the back seat racks gettin shiny from bein used
F C
Maybe tonight at the motor hotel, there'll be a stewardess and a glass of booze
G7 C
A lady who won't sing the blues
verse 2
C G7
Your eyeballs twitch and your back is stiff and your leg is in the land of dreams
G7 C
The order book has an empty look, you feel a little worn around the seams
C C7 F
The padded dashboard radio, crackles the nowhere news
F C
Maybe tonight at the motor hotel there'll be a stewardess and a glass of booze
G7 C
A lady who don't sing the blues
verse 3
C G7
Everybody has ambition, everybody has a dream
G7 C
But everybody don't get to be kings and queens, at least that's the way it seems
C C7 F
You get a sample case and an order book, and a smile for when you feel abused
F C
Maybe tonight at the motor hotel there'll be a stewardess and a glass of booze
G7 C
A lady who don't sing the blues
