Tekstovi: Tom T. Hall. Big Motel On The Mountain.

This song is for you big motel on the mountain
Just in thought to pass the time

And for the people who have loved
And some have been loved
And some were wanted inside your walls
And for the twenty two year old college girl

Who made that last semester
With her smile along your halls and for the traveling salesman
And the Friday night time dinner, out time crowd
Some were seeking stimulation in the laughter noise
And drinks the music loud

This song is for you big motel on the mountain
Just in thought to pass the time

And for the Wednesday Night Auxiliary
That meets inside your banquet room at nine
For the women's club and the social leads
And the regular attendants every time

For the lost abandoned child
By your north side entrance left alone to die
For the long haired wide eyed boy selling dope
And looking for a place to hide

This song is for you big motel on the mountain
Just in thought to pass the time

For the middle aged executive
Who thought he'd seen enough
To slash his wrist in number ten
And for the thirty two year old housewife
Who got caught with her best friend's husband

She ain't around to try again
For the seven year old girl swingin', slidin'
On the west side near the pool
Saying, "Why couldn't dad come home with us, mama?
Why you got to put me in that school?"

This song is for you big motel on the mountain
Just in thought to pass the time
