Running down the freeway Feeling white-line-fever hold on to me Won't let go Searching for some music At some late night lonely heart talk show With these lost and naked souls To keep me company Still this emptiness I feel A thousand miles from Memphis They were talking to me They say: "Where are you gonna run to?" I wanna stop and call And tell you where I am Put my heart on the line Only one more mile Down this solitary road There's a vacancy sign I'll be spending some time At the heartache hotel Cause you won't love me tender And my heart returned to sender How could you be so cruel? To a heart that's true Leaving L.A. seemed Like the right thing to do Thought that I could get over you Someone in this room before me Wrote on the wall They say: "Where are you gonna run to?" I wanna call and tell you where I am Catch a plane and fly to me tonight Nothing has changed I'm still in love with you So I'm hiding my heart In this house of delight At the heartache hotel Cause you won't love me tender And my heart returned to sender How could you be so cruel? To a heart that's true In the shadow of this lonely neon light Why can't you love me true? Dancing with my memories tonight There's a blue moon up above Well, that's alright At the heartache hotel Cause you won't love me tender And my heart returned to sender How could you be so cruel? To a heart that's true.
