Lyrics for Song: Spokane Motel Blues
Lyrics for Album: Singing Storyteller [Mercury] [1995]
(Tom T. Hall)
I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else
Like in Atlanta drinking wine wine wine
I don't know what I'm doing here, I should be someplace else
Like in Kentucky drinking shine, shine, shine.
The dogs're running down in Memphis and them negs're running in LA
I'm stuck in Spokane in a motel room and there ain't no way to get away
Willie Nelson's picking out in Austin and Waylon's hanging out in Mexico
I'm stuck in Spokane in a motel room and Kris is makin' moving picture show.
Hey, I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else
Like in Atlanta drinking wine wine wine
I don't know what I'm doing here, I should be someplace else
Like in Kentucky drinking shine, shine, shine.
Well, I know they're dancing in New Orleans and old Chicago's bright as day
I'm stuck in Spokane in a motel room Lord I wish I had a Dolly Parton tape
Well Hill and Bare and Billy Joe they're gambling
And old TP's fryin' crappie all night long
They're down at Tootsie's eatin' chilly I'm stuck in Spokane writin' song.
Hey, I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else
Like in Atlanta drinking wine wine wine
I don't know what I'm doing here, I should be someplace else
Like in Kentucky drinking clear moonshine...
