 Sunday  night, it's supper time
 The  hotel's full and all is fine
 You  can see that neon no vacancy sign
 From  the window of room 39
 Monday  morning at half past eight
 Everbody's  gone they've left no trace
 I  sit alone as the day grows late
 Wait  to see your friendly face
 Why  you chose my hotel
 I'm  not real qualified to tell
 It's  just your face I remember well
 When  you asked if I had a room to sell
 Well,  maybe you liked just what you saw
 The  cable tv and the indoor spa
 Or  maybe it was the low low price
 27  bucks a night.
They  say the highway is for lovers
 But  he ain't  no friend of mine
 Coz  every time I find my heart
 I lose  it to that long yellow line
You  checked in I checked you out
You  smiled from the corners of your mouth
I  turned on the no vacancy sign
As  you checked in to room 39
I  saw the light from your tv
You  were watching channel 23
The  night was long, the dark was deep
I  kind of cried myself to sleep
Morning  broke itself at last
You  got your continental breakfast
Dropped  off the key and said goodbye
I  think i thought I head you sigh
I  caught a glimpse of your license plate
As  you were drifting down the interstate
It  said you were from delaware
I  said oh it must be gorgeous there
 repeat last line of chorus, end on G
