Cheap Hotel

Ron Sexsmith


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
