[Intro]

[Verse]
Flickerin' neon, sign's half dead
Whiskey bottle by my head
Stained wallpaper, smell of dust
Another night of broken trust
This cheap motel, my final stand
Got a dirty Bible in my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Road's a temptress, sweet and cruel
Played me like a broken fool
Every mile, a debt I owe
Now the ghosts begin to show

[Chorus]
Motel Bible, pages worn
Sin and sorrow, since I was born
Hear the highway moan and weep
Secrets that the darkness keep
Oh, the blues, they haunt this room
Sealed inside this lonely tomb

[Post-Chorus]
(Don't sleep, don't sleep)
(The ghosts, they creep)

[Verse]
Unpaid bills and lovers past
Shadows movin' way too fast
Heard a whisper, soft and low
Someone I used to know
This worn-out Bible, ain't no guide
Just a place for sins to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Road's a temptress, sweet and cruel
Played me like a broken fool
Every mile, a debt I owe
Now the ghosts begin to show

[Chorus]
Motel Bible, pages worn
Sin and sorrow, since I was born
Hear the highway moan and weep
Secrets that the darkness keep
Oh, the blues, they haunt this room
Sealed inside this lonely tomb

[Solo]

[Bridge]
This stained mattress, heard it all
Watched the rise and watched the fall
Can't wash away the dirt and grime
Lost track of the space and time
That low-down riff, it calls my name
Fuelin' up this burnin' flame

[Verse]
Felt the floorboards start to shake
For goodness gracious, for heaven's sake
Is that the wind or a soul in pain?
Washin' over me again
This empty bottle, mirror cracked
No turnin' back, no turnin' back

[Chorus]
Motel Bible, pages worn
Sin and sorrow, since I was born
Hear the highway moan and weep
Secrets that the darkness keep
Oh, the blues, they haunt this room
Sealed inside this lonely tomb

[Outro]
Yeah, this room... it's got my soul...
