lyrics

There’s a silhouette in the neon light
Been here for the last three nights
A salesman going door to door
A better life is what he’s looking for
He’s got no home and no family
As he drives he sees them in his dreams
On the road goin’ town to town
But tonight he’s gonna settle down

He says it’s
Alright With Me
A little somethin’ from the mini bar will keep me company
And as far as I can tell
Gonna spend this holiday at the Desert Rose Motel

Senorita with her little daughter
Gotta push just a little farther
A bad man a couple states behind
Not giving her the proper time
Winter came as the final test
He went east, so she went west
Checking in for just one night
Close the curtains to avoid the light

She said it’s
Alright With Me
God and my baby will keep me company
And as far as I can tell
It’s just one holiday at the Desert Rose Motel

Miss Jenny sits behind the front desk
Flask of Stoli and a cigarette
Same place but unfamiliar faces
Thirty years in this frayed oasis
Guests never care for her name
She doesn’t mind, they’re all the same
Winter winds blow in a prayer
So she takes a sip and leans back in her chair

She says it’s
Alright With Me
Memories of my youth will keep me company
And as far as I can tell
What's another holiday at the Desert Rose Motel

I am a wanderer from out of town
Staying up in room 310 now
Bottle of wine and cheap cologne
I don’t mind this christmas alone
Each room has a different story behind every rusty door
We are together in this silent night
Finding our way in the moonlight

And it’s
Alright With Me
A little something from the mini bar will keep me company
And as far as I can tell
This ain’t my last holiday, well what’s another holiday, at the Desert Rose Motel
