Fitting Finales-From A Motel 6

From A Motel 6
(Smith/Kat)

All my life I've been a rambler
Showboat gambler, on a losing streak
So I set a course across the nation
Station to station, off to make a break
But the road is long, and the top is far
As I sit in this old bar, playing to no one

And I keep driving my life away
Searching for someone that will help me stay
The eyes of laughter, the fairest of sex
That cannot be found from a Motel 6

I've been down this road forever
Through stormy weather, as well as the sun
I see myself of few variations
Situations from a life undone
I made my choice for better or worse
Knowing the outcome would be the same as before
So here I am in an cheap motel
Screaming kids next door, this doesn't feel like home

And I keep driving my life away
Searching for someone that will help me stay
The eyes of laughter, the fairest of sex
That cannot be found from a Motel 6

I think of the girl that got away
Dream from yesterday, hope to meet her today
So tell me now where I'm going
The Almighty knowing, but he won't tell

And I keep driving my life away
Searching for someone that will help me stay
The eyes of laughter, the fairest of sex
That cannot be found from a Motel.....6
From a Motel 6
From a Motel 6
From a Motel 6
From A MOTEL 6

Yet another rewrite of my life it seems.  This song came from a brainstorming session between me and Diggy Kat, the mysterious DJ of Lucky Star Radio who I actually been trading music ideas and music for over 10 plus years.  He would suggest things and phases and I would write some of them down to come up with this song.   And picturing myself back at Crookton Pass Bridge and imagining that I was back there writing this number.

This songs works better as a hard rock electric version rather than folk like strumming that is on Fitting Finales and I've been working with Rod Alan Albaugh in terms of adding a stunning lead guitar on where the final verse would be at.  We been working on some of these songs during my Christmas Break but if and when we can back together remains if we can find a workable weekend to do so.

Based upon a true story, I was staying at a Motel 6, when I had a Romper Room family next door banging doors and stomping on the floors and yelling and screaming.  That was the last time I ever stayed at the Madison Motel 6.
