Cheapest Motel
Price of Temptation: A Tale of Regret
Lyrics
The glasses were all plastic;
The drinking glasses were made of plastic.
Little balls of no-name soap;
The soap provided was generic and unbranded.
No cable on the TV;
The motel didn't have cable television.
The ice-machine was broke.
The ice-making machine was not working.
Well, I guess that's what you get,
These conditions were expected due to the low price paid for the room.
For nineteen bucks an' some change.
The room cost $19 and a little extra.
But the cheapest motel in town,
Despite being the cheapest option, it was a costly choice for the person.
Cost him everything.
The decision to stay at this motel had significant consequences.
They used the Bible for a coaster,
The Bible was used as a coaster for drinks.
An' it never crossed their mind:
The guests didn't consider reading the Bible.
Maybe they should've opened it,
They might have benefited from reading the Bible instead of consuming expensive wine.
Instead of that high-dollar wine.
The expensive wine was preferred over spiritual guidance.
It was just their little secret,
Their behavior with the Bible and wine was kept hidden.
A hideaway out West Main,
The motel served as a secret meeting place on West Main Street.
But the cheapest motel in town,
Despite its low quality, the motel had a significant impact on their lives.
Cost him everything.
The consequences of staying at this motel were severe.
He went from home in the suburbs,
He moved from a suburban home to a city apartment.
To an apartment in town.
His living situation drastically changed.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
He used to be greeted by his kids at home.
To a stray dog he'd found.
He now found companionship in a stray dog.
He paid the price for pleasure,
He faced consequences for seeking pleasure.
Now he can't afford the pain.
The repercussions of his actions were too much to bear.
An' the cheapest motel in town,
The low-cost motel led to the loss of everything valuable.
Cost him everything.
The consequences were severe due to the choice of staying at this motel.
They thought no-one would find 'em,
They believed they wouldn’t be discovered.
But it isn't hard to spot,
Their attempts to hide were futile as their luxury car stood out.
A brand-new black Mercedes-Benz,
The presence of an expensive car in the motel's parking lot drew attention.
In that gravel parkin' lot.
It was easy to spot their conspicuous choice of vehicle.
He fooled his wife till one night,
He deceived his wife until a revealing incident.
She saw something he couldn't explain,
Something occurred that he couldn't explain to his wife.
An' the cheapest motel in town,
The motel's impact on his life was profound.
Cost him everything.
The consequences of choosing this motel were significant.
He went from home in the suburbs,
He transitioned from a suburban home to a city apartment.
To an apartment in town.
His living situation dramatically altered.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
He used to be greeted by his kids at home.
To a stray dog he'd found.
He found companionship in a stray dog.
He paid the price for pleasure,
He faced dire consequences for seeking pleasure.
Now he can't afford the pain.
The repercussions were unbearable.
Yeah, the cheapest motel in town,
The motel choice had a devastating impact on his life.
Cost him everything;
The consequences were extremely high.
It cost him everything;
His choices led to losing everything.
Cost him everything.
Everything of value was lost due to his decisions.
