about

'Motel Blues (Welcome to VoodooVille)' by The Wily Bo Walker Acoustic Band

Taken from the forthcoming series of releases ‘Welcom to VoodooVille’ with The Wily Bo Walker Acoustic Band, 'Motel Blues' has a Steve Earle vibe with dobro and mandolin underpinning the tale of a lonely troubadour hoping for one night of sweet redemption.

Sourced from the original Hi-Res 24bit Master Recording from Abbey Road

Said of this track:

"Simply a gorgeous song, beautifully played…" Andy Snipper - Music News

lyrics

IN THIS TOWN TELEVISION SHUTS OFF AT TWO
WHAT CAN A LONELY ROCK’N’ROLLER DO
A BED SO BIG THE SHEETS ARE CLEAN
YOUR GIRLFRIEND SAID YOU WERE JAMES DEAN
A STYROFOAM ICE BUCKET FULL OF ICE
COME UP TO MY MOTEL ROOM AND
TREAT ME NICE

I DON’T WANT TO MAKE NO LATE NIGHT NEW YORK CALLS
I DON’T WANT TO STARE AT THESE UGLY GRASSMAT WALLS
CHRONOLOGICALLY I KNOW YOU’RE YOUNG
COS WHEN YOU KISSED ME IN THE CLUB YOU BIT MY TONGUE
I’LL WRITE A SONG FOR YOU
AND PUT IT ON MY NEXT LP
COME UP TO MY MOTEL ROOM AND
SLEEP WITH ME

THERE’S A BIBLE IN THE DRAWER DON’T BE AFRAID
I’LL PUT UP A SIGN TO WARN THE CLEAN UP MAID
THERE’S LOTS OF SOAP AND LOTS OF TOWELS
NEVER MIND THOSE DESK CLERK SCOWLS
I’LL BUY YOU BREAKFAST AND
THEY’LL THINK YOU’RE MY WIFE
COME UP TO MY MOTEL ROOM AND
SAVE MY LIFE…
