Cheap Motel
(Joe Grushecky - Bruce Springsteen)

Em G C G x2

Em                        G
I've been drifting from state to state
C                   G
From town to town chasing my fate
Em                        G
Working just enough to sleep and eat
C                     G
A man never knows who he might meet
 
       D              G
  At a cheap motel - cheap motel
   C                    G
  Where I've been I'll never tell
   D                              G
  Riding down the highway bound straight for hell
   C             N.C.           Em G C G
  And check into a cheap motel


I had a girl once but it didn't work out
She wasn't happy traveling about
She expected too much of me
She wanted a home and security

 
  Instead of cheap motels - cheap motels
  Where I've been I'll never tell
  Riding down the highway bound straight for hell
  And check into a cheap motel - a cheap motel

 
          C            D
From the Motel Six in Tucson, Arizona
        C             G
To the Do Drop In in Lawton, Oklahoma
           C                      G                    
Going to spend my winters in New Mexico
           D                       G
Where the nights are long and the days are slow
     D                       G
The nights are long and the days are slow

Em G C G x2

The cops come knocking one day at dawn
And I got arrested for building a bomb
Two days later they cleared the cell
And drove me back to this cheap motel

  Cheap motel, cheap motel
  Where I've been I'll never tell
  Riding down the highway bound straight for hell
  And check into a cheap motel
