Reckless Kelly › Lyrics › Motel Cowboy Show

Hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show
We''ll drink and dance, there''s no place else to go
We''ll stay out all night long, we''ll toast the break of dawn
Hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show

Well, they rolled one for the road, put on the same dirty ol'' clothes
Down the trail they rode to the Motel Cowboy Show
Well, they parked at the end of the line underneath the cold beer sign
It''s a long long way to ride without your whiskey and your wine
Something stronger would be fine, something stronger would be fine

I said hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show
We''ll drink and dance, there''s no place else to go
We''ll hang out all night long, we''ll toast the break of dawn
Hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show

Well, they walked through the swingin'' doors
Through the sawdust on the floor
Everybody was ready to go at the Motel Cowboy Show
Well, they''ve been all over the land, not bad for a honky tonk band
Well, it''s a long hard hill to climb when you''re so far ahead of time
And you''ve never seen a dime, you''re so far ahead of your time

Hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show
It's late but there ain''t nowhere else to go
We''ll hang out all night long, we''ll toast the break of dawn
Hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show

Well, the doses soon kicked in
And the fun would soon begin, the fun would soon begin
And the world did a great big spin
Ooh, baby, it''s fun, it ain''t no sin

I know you well, you don''t remember, we partied way back in November
Of '72 or was it '73, I know you well, you don''t remember me
All the faces changed and the room went round
What a mystic place, what a mystic sound

Well, they rolled one for the road and they candied up their nose
Down the trail they rode to the Motel Cowboy Show

Hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show
We''ll drink and dance, there''s no place else to go
The boys are in their prime, we''ll see ''em one more time
Hey, ol' lady, let''s go to the Motel Cowboy Show
