Blue Motel Lyrics by Dan Penn

Living on Mercy

2020

Well, Frank is down in 21
Tryin' to sleep it off
Got paid on Friday
Now, he's spent it all
He's been here every weekend
Ten years I know
Makes his reservation
Never fails to show
Here at the Blue Motel
The Blue Motel
The curtain's drawn, the lights are low
Secret lovers meet
They come here every Sunday
Check-in a honeymoon suite
Today she's gonna break it off
Just can't lie anymore
I hear her softly cryin'
As he walks out the door
Of this Blue Motel
The Blue Motel
Midnight 'til early dawn
It's a sad song they play
Twilight is long gone
Always leavin', never stayin' (Never stayin')
Never stayin'
It's a long and windin' dusty road
On the outskirts of Hell
Where only losers find their way
To this old, rundown motel
It's a long way from Paradise
To the dark end of the street
Champagne to mad dog wine
It's all so bittersweet
Here at the Blue Motel
Blue Motel
It's all so bittersweet
Blue Motel
Here at the Blue Motel
They're always leavin', never stayin'
Here at the Blue Motel (Blue Motel)
The Blue Motel
Blue Motel
Blue Motel
I'd like the honeymoon suite, please
What's that you sayin'?
Somebody already in it?
