Lyrics Tom T. Hall

Tom T. Hall

Spokane Motel Blues

I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else

Like in Atlanta drinkin' wine, wine, wine

I don't know what I'm doing here, I should be someplace else

Like in Kentucky drinkin' 'shine, 'shine, 'shine

The dogs are running down in Memphis

And them nags are running in la

I'm stuck in spokane in a motel room

And there ain't no way to get away

Willie nelson's picking out in Austin

And Waylon's hanging out in Mexico

I'm stuck in spokane in a motel room

And kris is making movin' picture shows

Hey, I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else

Like in Atlanta drinkin' wine, wine, wine

I don't know what I'm doing here, I should be someplace else

Like in Kentucky drinkin' 'shine, 'shine, 'shine

Well I know they're dancing in New Orleans

And old Chicago's bright as day

I'm stuck in spokane in a motel room

Lord, I wish I had a dolly parton tape

Well hill and bare and billy Joe they're gambling

And ol' tp's frying croppie all night long

They're down at tootsie's eating chili

I'm stuck in spokane a-writing songs

Hey, I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else

Like in Atlanta drinkin' wine, wine, wine

I don't know what I'm doing here, I should be someplace else

Like in Kentucky drinkin' clear moonshine
