Song information
Artist: Jerry Jeff Walker Album: It's A Good Night For Singing
Lyrics
Butch hancock
Well, I was standin' at a big hotel, just wishin' everybody well If anybody paid me any mind, it was hard to tell Then a big cop on his beat, took out his pistol and pointed at me Lookin' down the barrel, I swore I saw the gates of hell Standing at the big hotel
Well, I walked on down the avenue Just lookin' for someone that I looked like you I couldn't see a face that seemed to ring a bell And then I stopped beside the five and dime Just window shoppin' and wastin' time Along came a gal, she sold me all she had to sell She left me standin' at the big hotel
Chorus: And then I lost my mind, in the wilds of hollywood Then I spent some time in the shadows where I stood And I let those cards fall just where they fell And then I found myself, standin' at the big hotel
Lord, lord, what's the matter with me I pay so much for the song I sing And all I'm doin' is singin' em to myself It's like standin' in a stagnant stream With no water in the world left to drink I was down at the bottom of a dried up wishin' well Just standin' at a big hotel
Chorus
