Standin` At The Big Hotel — текст песни (Jerry Jeff Walker)

Butch Hancock

Well, I was standin` at a big hotel, just wishin` everybody well
If anybody paid me any mind, it was hard to tell
Then a big cop on his beat, took out his pistol and pointed at me
Lookin` down the barrel, I swore I saw the gates of hell
Standing at the big hotel

Well, I walked on down the avenue,
Just lookin` for someone that I looked like you
I couldn`t see a face that seemed to ring a bell
And then I stopped beside the five and dime
Just window shoppin` and wastin` time
Along came a gal, she sold me all she had to sell
She left me standin` at the big hotel

Chorus:
And then I lost my mind, in the wilds of Hollywood
Then I spent some time in the shadows where I stood
And I let those cards fall just where they fell
And then I found myself, standin` at the big hotel

Lord, Lord, what`s the matter with me
I pay so much for the song I sing
And all I`m doin` is singin` em to myself
It`s like standin` in a stagnant stream
With no water in the world left to drink
I was down at the bottom of a dried up wishin` well
Just standin` at a big hotel

Chorus
