I was steering my car Through a fog in the dark When my lights began to flutter and wane So I veered from the road And caught a glimmer of hope From a sign that read the Texas motel Welcome home So where were you when we wanted to go? You always ride alone Not much the same Look around, there's nothing from before Just read the writing on the wall "Here lies the Texas Motel" I'm waltzing with ghosts Who became American owned In the year nineteen-thirty-and-three This once was the space Where the seeker of a new place Could join in the reveler's haze Welcome home So where were you when we wanted to go? You always ride alone Not much the same Look around, there's nothing from before Just read the writing on the wall... "Here lies the Texas Motel" The key to the room To the time, to the few Will remain at the Texas Motel Welcome home So where were you when we wanted to go? You always ride alone Not much the same Look around, there's nothing from before Just read the writing on the wall
