new year’s day at the lion head's motel: hourly rates - vance gilbert lyrics

[verse 1]
officer
no it’s not exactly how i found him
when i woke up his arm was
draped across my chest
he was cold and getting colder
and i had to get him off me
that’s when i rolled him over
and called the front desk
i rolled him over
and called the front desk

[verse 2]
officer
no i’m not trying to be a smart*ass
sometimes he really did do nothin’
but just lie there in the dark
and hold my hand
he always paid me so i never asked no questions
maybe he just liked the quiеt
who was i to understand?
who was i to even try to undеrstand?

[chorus]
they get generous on the 31st
you might make some extra pay
i’m not much into the holidays
to me it’s just another workin’ day
but he’s nicer than the most i do
and usually i won’t stay the night
but in the morning
he takes me downstairs
they got this great big buffet with
pancakes and canadian bacon, mmm hmm
[verse 3]
officer
is there any way you can keep my name
out of this report?
no, it’s not about me trying to save my own skin
i got a rap sheet to beat the band
and one more bust
don’t amount to nothing
but a phone call, some fingerprints
and a few days in the pen
i get a phone call
and a few days in the pen

[verse 4]
officer
you see he got a wife and a baby
i know, ’cause he showed me a picture
by the neon window curtain light
and i figure what’s the sense
of breaking their hearts two times over?
ain’t it enough on them that his up and stopped
in the middle of the night?
his just up and stopped
in the middle of the night, mmm hmm

[chorus]
they get generous on the 31st
you might make some extra pay
i’m not much into resolutions
but hey
officer you realize it’s new year’s
officially right now?
well, happy new year’s to you too sir, mmm hmm
[verse 5]
officer
i know you got a job to do
h*ll, i’m a working girl too
and i give nothin’ up for free
but i tell you what
you take me downstairs for breakfast
we’ll call this one even steven
and for him, this one’s on me
for him, this one’s on me
