Half a day from nowhere
Hurrying to get there
Ninety miles an hour in two Plymouth wagons
The Avis lady gave us a smile

Tom´s getting uptight, Max will make it all right
Ken´s asleep in back, Artie´s reading a map
That´s takin´ us where we´re heading to
We should be there soon

There´s a sign up ahead, wash my face and get fed
And that voice in my head keeps sayin´ I´m lonely
But I´m only payin´ my dues
Holiday Inn Blues

Had a reservation, best accommodations
We get the word, they never heard we were comin´ by at all
See what they can do for me, only got one room free

Little bit confined, but if you guys don´t mind
We´ll put you up in our bridal suite, the view can´t be beat

And a fine view they got of a new parking lot
And I can´t repeat what´s in my mind
As I lay back resigned and I kick off my shoes
Holiday Inn Blues

Time to put a show on, gettin´ time to go on
People call for more, we do two encores
Take our bows and we´re feelin´ fine
We got to unwind

Want some coffee, but then this town closes at ten

Looks like I´m gonna spend one more night by the light
Of the late show and Charlie Chans´s crew
Holiday Inn Blues

Holiday Inn Blues
I feel so down
Holiday Inn Blues
What am I gonna do?
