Blue lights outside
Yellow tape on Room 32
The starlight on Highway 9
It’s back on the evening news
There’s a gold pen on the night stand
Gun smoke and cheap perfume
Ain’t nothing good has ever come from
Married men and motel rooms
There’s holes in the door, holes in the walls
Holes in the mattress and the pillows too
Whoever held that windmaker
Didn’t stop till the job was through
There’s a gold pen on the night stand
Gun smoke and cheap perfume
Ain’t nothing good has ever come from
Married men and motel rooms
Blue lights across town
A quiet street and a big old house
Missing Lexus on the highway
Doing ninety and headed south
There’s a gold pen on the night stand
Gun smoke and cheap perfume
Ain’t nothing good has ever come from
Married men and motel rooms
Oh no, ain’t nothing good has ever come from
Married men and motel rooms
Yeah
