Lyrics
Hotel Days
or
The Traveling man's Blues
Leaving from Boston
to arrive in New York
Then its Phily, then Pittsburg,
Then Chicago Then Detroit
Another day in another city
When will this mess ever end
I'm a man who travels a lot
And I'm on the Very long road again
When will it ever end
Today its Milwaukee
Tomorrow its Minneapolis
Then its Des Moine, then St Louis,
Then Little Rock Then New Orleans
I've been around this country of oura
Travelling from small town to town
To shop my goods door to door
I just can't take it any more
When will this ever end
Today its Houston
Tomorrow its San Antonio
Then its Dallas, then Santa Fe,
Then Phoenix, Then Denver
I stay in lots of Hotels
With cold beds and noisey rooms
Just to feed my family
A measly fistful of dirty bread
These miserable Hotel Days
Have given me the blues again
Iv'e got the Travelling man's blues
So when will this nightmare ever end
Today its Las Vegas
Tomorrow its Reno
Then its San Diego, then L.A,
Then San Francisco Then Seatle
Oh Lord when will this ever end
Uv'e got the Hotel Day Blues again
