[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

C G7
Your eyeballs twitch and your back is stiff and your leg is in the land of dreams
G7 C

C C7 F
The padded dashboard radio, crackles the nowhere news
[Chorus]
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

A lady who don't sing the blues
