In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel

In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Am			Am7
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
	D						G
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime

Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you

In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds

As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around

There's a ringle jingle near the underpass

There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash

I'm silver-plated I'm underrated

You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
