On a dead end street

In a dead end town

There's a motel that I call home

Just a few small hopes

And a few small dreams

Is all that place is resting on

Desiree lives two doors down

She's been there for way too long

Oh Yeah!

Sometimes when she's feelin' down

you know I hope she hears this song

CHORUS

On a bed of roses

Not beneath some motel light

On a bed of roses

She deserves to sleep tonight

She deserves to sleep tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

She comes home late everynight

I can hear her walkin' down my hall

She don't talk on the phone too much

When she does I hear it through my wall

Desiree don't have many friends

At least not many good ones

I may be just an ordinary man

But at least I'm someone to lean on

CHORUS
