Lyrics
I like my solitude
I find comfort in being alone.
I like getting out of this city
I enjoy leaving the urban environment.
Drive fifty miles so I can scream into the wind
I drive a considerable distance to express my emotions freely.
Not be scared of looking funny
I'm not afraid of appearing strange or unconventional.
It's always been this way
This preference for solitude has been consistent throughout my life.
Followed me from state to state
This inclination has persisted across different states.
Thought if I moved away that things would change
I once hoped that moving would bring change, but it hasn't.
But they're still the same
Despite the move, circumstances remain unchanged.
Still the same as they were yesterday
Things are the same as they were in the past.
So if you need me
If you require my presence,
I'll be at the Lone Star Motel
I'll be at the Lone Star Motel.
Day drinking and sleeping in
Engaging in daytime drinking and sleeping.
The sheets are clean
The accommodations are clean.
And I don't have to think about
I can avoid thinking about external matters.
What's going on outside
Isolation shields me from external concerns.
Street below me sky above
Observing the street below and the sky above.
Got myself and that's enough
I have myself, and that's sufficient.
I'll follow those yellow lines until I'm out of time
I'll continue along my chosen path until time runs out.
And I've got nowhere left to hide
When I have nowhere left to hide.
So if you need me
If you need me,
I'll be at the Lone Star Motel
I'll be at the Lone Star Motel.
Day drinking and sleeping in
Engaging in daytime drinking and sleeping.
The sheets are clean
The accommodations are clean.
And I don't have to think about
I can avoid thinking about external matters.
What's going on outside
Isolation shields me from external concerns.
Outside
Reiteration of the isolation from external influences.
My sanctuary warm and bright
The Lone Star Motel is depicted as a warm and bright sanctuary.
Oh darling won't you stay the night
An invitation for someone special to stay the night.
If you need me
If you need me,
I'll be at the Lone Star Motel
I'll be at the Lone Star Motel.
Day drinking and sleeping in
Engaging in daytime drinking and sleeping.
The sheets are clean
The accommodations are clean.
And I don't have to think about
I can avoid thinking about external matters.
What's going on outside
Isolation shields me from external concerns.
