Airways Motel Lyrics

"Airways Motel" by Jack Ingram and Todd Snider
(c) 1996 Beat Up Ford Publishing, I Heard Them Songs
Intro: G C9 G C9
I found myself down at the Airways Motel
Drunk and half hearted again
Alone with a woman who's not gonna tell
What I've been doin' and where I have been
It seems Sunday mornings, they come without warning
I'm never ready for the way that I feel
So sick of lying, I know that I'm dying
Chorus:
But I can still sing along with the choir
While I fight through my own private hell
Caught between heaven and all my desire
For the girl at the Airways Motel
When I promised forever the night that I married
I meant every word that I said
But a couple years later I stand here a liar
Next to the woman I know I've misled
Looking around at this whole congregation
Too tired to listen, I play with my ring
I wonder who all of us think that we're fooling
Hiding from someone who sees everything
Somewhere between heaven and all my desire
For the girl at the Airways Motel
