Big Motel on the Mountain

(Jim Kelly)



This song is for you big motel on the mountain

Just in thought to pass the time

And for the people who had loved and some have been loved

And some were wanted inside your walls

And for the 22 year old college girl

Who made that last semester with her smile along your halls

And for the trav'ling salesman

And the Friday night time dinner out time crowd

Some were seeking stimulation

In the laugh or noise and brings the music loud

This song is for you big motel on the mountain

Just in thought to pass the time.



--- Instrumental ---



And for the Wednesday night or Saturday

That meet inside you banquet room at nine

For the women's club and the social leads

And the regular attendants every time

For the lost depended child

By your northside entrance left alone to die

For the long haired wide eyed boy

Selling dope and looking for a place to hide

This song is for you big motel on the mountain

Just in thought to pass the time.



--- Instrumental ---



For the middle aged exaltiver

Who thought he'd seen enough to slash his wrist in No 10

And for the thirty-two year old housewife

Who got caught with the best friend's husband she ain't around to try again

For the seven year old girl

Swinging slight on the westside near the pool

Saying why couldn't dad come home with us mama

Why you got to put me in that school

This song is for you big motel on the mountain

Just in thought to pass the time...
