Spokane Motel Blues Songtext
von Tom T. Hall

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

The dogs are running down in memphis
And them nags are running in la
I'm stuck in spokane in a motel room
And there ain′t no way to get away

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


Hey, 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

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

Well hill and bare and billy joe they're gambling
And ol′ tp's frying croppie all night long
They′re down at tootsie's eating chili
I′m stuck in spokane a-writing songs


Hey, 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
