Marlboro Reds and Motel Keys
TitanChord
Tuesday night, same as every
Tell my wife I'm workin' late
Pull into the Super 8 off Fourteen
Room two-twelve is our standing date
She's got the key, I've got the cash
Bottle of brown and a Marlboro pack
Don't speak much, don't gotta
This ain't love, it's a different kind of trap
Marlboro Reds and motel keys
A sin I can afford to keep
Ain't nobody prayin' for me
Ain't nobody knows but the Super 8 sheets
Marlboro Reds and motel keys
Cheaper than a heart that's free
She's got a husband down in Gainesville
Works the pipeline, barely home
I've got a daughter and a mortgage
And a life I built on a lie of my own
We ain't in love, we ain't pretendin'
Just two bodies and a late-night radio
Somewhere a preacher is mendin' somebody
And we're breakin' both our promises below
One night she said "You ever feel bad?"
I said "Every Wednesday mornin', yeah"
She laughed and lit another cigarette
Said "Me too. See ya next week, pal"
Marlboro Reds and motel keys
Every Tuesday 'til the world sets me free
Ain't no devil gonna save me
Ain't no Jesus gonna see
Marlboro Reds and motel keys
That's the sorry-ass gospel of me
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.
