Chorus: Hotel keys are what I'm holding. It's room number 225. Hotel keys are what I'm holding. I'm here but I'm barely alive. Had a hotel room in Tennessee. What the hell is going on below me? Voices scattered in rows Up through the floors. Silence was shattered By the slamming of the doors. Chorus Well a busted sign said "Vacancy." It all seemed like a mess to me. All I wanted was a good night's rest. I'm sick and I'm tired And I couldn't care less. --Instrumental-- It's gonna come quick that quarter til four It's ten after three And I just spilled some more. Red light numbers are set And it's gonna be sad. I won't get no sleep For a deal that's gone bad. Chorus When the headlights came, It was over fast. They were out of there By a quarter past. Yeah I know they all went down the line. Blood-shot eyes at check out time. Chorus I'm here but I'm barely alive
