Motel Letter Blues Lyrics - Jerry Leger

I'm stuck inside this cheap old room 

Been telling myself I might phone you 

Saying dear friend I'd be coming home 

But not right now and it won't be soon 

I've been feeling low and not doing much 

Got myself mixed with the wrong old bunch 

Had me feeling electrified 

Always waking up where I don't know why 

Lord I've been going down 

Lord you've been coming around 

Lord your help I don't want it 

Not right now not just yet 

Well, it's looking like such a sunny day 

I feel it coming through that pulled down shade 

Haven't left my bed for three or four days 

But I never feel worried 

I'm always thinking it will come around 

You'll see me cleaned up above this ground 

Hunting for a woman to fill my needs 

One I can love so selfishly 

Lord I've been going down 

Lord you've been coming around 

Lord your help I don't want it 

Not right now not just yet 

It's a motel letter from a young man's brain 

It's awaiting that spot on a downbound train 

It's a hard living with a head that's strained 

From the night to the morning 

Lost when I think I get lost in my mind 

Keeps me coming to the good old times 

When I feel it's the end of the line 

Wanna get out and give it one more try 

Lord I've been going down 

Lord you've been coming around 

Lord your help I don't want it 

Not right now not just yet
