Cheap Hotel
Ron Sexsmith · Blue Boy [2001]
She made her getaway when he stepped out
She took the kids and drove far from that house
She told 'em "This is our home for now,
God bless this cheap hotel"
First he'd be sweet to her, they'd talk for hours
Then he'd lay right into her and buy her flowers
Her nerves were shattered, her dreams as well
"Goddamn this cheap hotel"
It seems we never see it coming
Until we hit the ground running...
Last night she hit the ground running
But now another day's dawning
Behind the curtain, there may be sun
One thing's for certain, thy will be done
On earth as it is done in hell
God bless this cheap hotel
On earth as it is done in hell,
God bless this cheap hotel

God bless this cheap hotel
On earth as it is done in hell,
God bless this cheap hotel
