This song is for you big motel on the mountain just in thought to pass the time And for the people who have loved and some have been loved And some were wanted inside your walls And for the 22 year old college girl Who made that last semester with her smile along your halls And for the trav'ling salesman and the Friday night time dinner out time crowd Some were seeking stimulation in the laughter noise and drinks the music loud This song is for you big motel on the mountain just in thought to pass the time [ piano ] And for the Wednesday Night Auxiliary that meets inside your banquet room at nine For the women's club and the social leads and the regular attendants every time For the lost abandoned child by your northside entrance left alone to die For the long haired wide eyed boy selling dope and looking for a place to hide This song is for you big motel on the mountain just in thought to pass the time [ piano ] For the middle aged executive who thought he'd seen enough To slash his wrist in No 10 And for the 32 year old housewife who got caught with her best friend's husband She ain't around to try again For the 7 year old girl swingin' slidin' on the west side near the pool Saying why couldn't dad come home with us mama Why you got to put me in that school This song is for you big motel on the mountain just in thought to pass the time
