Tom T. Hall Spokane Motel Blues Lyrics

INTRO: C F G C
CHORUS:
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.
#2.
The dogs are running down in Memphis, and them
nags are running in L.A., yeah.
I'm stuck in Spokane in a motel room and there
ain't no way to get away.
#3.
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.
CHORUS:
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.
#4.
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.
#5.
Well, Hill and Bare and Billy Joe they're gambling.
And ol' TP's frying cr*ppie all night long.
They're down at Tootsie's eating chili..I'm stuck in
Spokane writing songs.
CHORUS:
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.
OUTRO: Am C Am C Am C F G..(Fade.)
