Found me there on the ground, you dusted me off
Turned me around, got me off of that stuff
But I'm just a man, flesh, blood, and bone
Trouble seems to find me when I'm left alone
So if I should stumble, if I should slide
Keep me from going to the other side
Don't turn me away, don't leave me out in the cold
You know that I've only got one place to go
Just like the last time, it won't work out well
Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel
Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel
When you've been all you can be, you've done all you can do
Seems fair to me they would do the same for you
Did you shake your head and smile while they tell you go to hell?
You'll find what you need at the Sunset Motel
So baby hold me close and say you'll never let me go
I don't even know who I am no more
Don't turn me away, don't leave me out in the cold
You know that I've only got one place to go
Just like the last time, it won't work out well
Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel
Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel
Four walls to hold me, locked up inside
Where the same thing that kills you is what keeps you alive
No hope for redemption, no safe place to fall
Just a paradise waiting to escape from it all
So baby, when the darkness tries to pull me back in
Keep me from going down that road again
Don't turn me away, don't leave me out in the cold
You know that I've only got one place to go
Just like the last time, it won't work out well
Don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel
Please don't let me go back to the Sunset Motel
