Well out on the bypass   Not too far,    There's a joint that's a jumpin'    When they close up the bars      Well if walls could talk   Man, the stories they'd tell   Holding up the roof on a cheap motel   Holding up the roof on a cheap motel      You can rent 'em all night   But they're cheaper by the hour   The towels are clean   But they still smell sour      The night clerk's smiling    'Cause he's usually stoned   But you can do out there    What you can't do at home      There's a cigarette burn    On the table by the bed    And a king james bible    That's never been read      If walls could talk   Man, the stories they'd tell   Holding up the walls on a cheap motel   Holding up the walls on a cheap motel      They got a cinder block wall   So you can't be seen   Walking out naked   By the ice machine      Keep it hush-hush   Cause you never can tell   Who you'll see walking   'Round a cheap motel      There's a cigarette burn    On the table by the bed    And a king james bible    That's never been read      If walls could talk   Man, the stories they'd tell   Holding up the roof on a cheap motel   Holding up the roof on a cheap motel      Hey!      Just holdin' up the roof   Just a-holdin' up the roof on a cheap motel
