Spokane Motel Blues - Tom T. Hall

I dont know what Im doing here, I could be someplace else

Like in Atlanta drinkin wine, wine, wine

I dont know what Im doing here, I should be someplace else

Like in Kentucky drinkin shine, shine, shine

The dogs are running down in Memphis

And them nags are running in L.A. yeah

Im stuck in Spokane in a motel room

And there ain’t no way to get away

Willie Nelsons picking out in Austin

And Waylons hanging out in Mexico

Im stuck in Spokane in a motel room

And Cris is making movin picture shows

Hey, I dont know what Im doing here, I could be someplace else

Like in Atlanta drinkin wine, wine, wine

I dont know what Im doing here, I should be someplace else

Like in Kentucky drinkin shine, shine, shine

Well I know theyre dancing in New Orleans

And old Chicagos bright as day

Im stuck in Spokane in a motel room

Lord, I wish I had a Dolly Parton tape

Well Hill and Bare and Billy Joe theyre gambling

And ol TPs frying croppie all night long

Theyre down at Tootsies eating chili

Im stuck in Spokane a writing songs

Hey, I dont know what Im doing here, I could be someplace else

Like in Atlanta drinkin wine, wine, wine

I dont know what Im doing here, I should be someplace else

Like in Kentucky drinkin clear moonshine
