The Thunderbird Inn - Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties

People are starting to tear down their Christmas lights

It never got cold here but they know that the season’s died

And I’ve been sleeping in a motel off 95

I don’t really mind it much

The clerk at the desk is nice

Well, he pours me a coffee and asks me if it’s been a long night

Well, I found a bar that’s just outside the township line

And I go there most every night

I drank my last paycheck dry

And outside, a homeless man asks me for change and I

I look him straight in his eyes

He starts to apologize

Tells me God’s got a plan for me and that it’ll be alright

Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic

Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic

Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic

The owner’s been giving me a break on my rent this week

He says that I’m good for it

Well, I joke how I’m probably

But I came up short again and nobody’s laughing

So I’ll sneak out at 2 am

I can’t do it honestly

Well, I know I’m a coward and I feel a bad night coming

Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic

Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic

Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic

Didn’t know that I looked that pathetic

So pour me another drink for a daughter I’ll never meet

A wife who don’t love me and a cold cup of coffee

So pour me another drink and I’ll count my blessings

Got a half tank of gas left and this bottle ain’t empty
