Bill Morrissey Motels And Planes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here I am once again back in this bar
Home for the shooting and the falling stars
It's a good place to start, it's a hard place to end
Ans I'm just passing through here tonight, old friend

[Verse 2]
So tell me what's new, where is your guitar?
Never thought you'd be working that side of the bar
Hey, pour me a tall one, pour one for you
You know I don't drink as much as they think I do

[Chorus]
And these days my time it seems
Is spent in motels and planes
But these were once my dreams
I've got no right to complain

[Verse 3]
Well, it's been quite a yеar, yes, I've had me a ball
I'vе sung from the stage of Carnegie Hall
I've stayed on the road for months upon months
And found me an agent who was famous once

[Verse 4]
And I pay this agent for his advice
And all that he tells me is play safe and nice You've got motels and planes, not couches and Fords
And they'll pay through the nose for the same old three chords

[Chorus]
And these days my time it seems
Is spent in motels and planes
But these were once my dreams
I've got no right to complain

[Verse 5]
Who is that woman who walked in the door?
You heard me and my wife ain't together no more
I don't know what happened or what I did wrong
But you know me, I'll get it into a song

[Verse 6]
Yeah, the road it gets lonesome, there's no turning back
And you do meet the women, that's just a fact
Carry on laughing and drinking and such
And though I always did look, I never did touch

[Chorus]
And these days my time it seems
Is spent in motels and planes
But these were once my dreams
I've got no right to complain
