Spokane Motel Blues by Tom T. Hall

I don't know what i'm doing here, i could be someplace else
Like in atlanta drinkin' wine, wine, wine
I don't know what i'm doing here, i should be someplace else
Like in kentucky drinkin' 'shine, 'shine, 'shine

The dogs are running down in memphis
And them nags are running in la
I'm stuck in spokane in a motel room
And there ain't no way to get away

Willie nelson's picking out in austin
And waylon's hanging out in mexico
I'm stuck in spokane in a motel room
And kris is making movin' picture shows

Hey, i don't know what i'm doing here, i could be someplace else
Like in atlanta drinkin' wine, wine, wine
I don't know what i'm doing here, i should be someplace else
Like in kentucky drinkin' 'shine, 'shine, 'shine

Well i know they're dancing in new orleans
And old chicago's bright as day
I'm stuck in spokane in a motel room
Lord, i wish i had a dolly parton tape

Well hill and bare and billy joe they're gambling
And ol' tp's frying croppie all night long
They're down at tootsie's eating chili
I'm stuck in spokane a-writing songs

Hey, i don't know what i'm doing here, i could be someplace else
Like in atlanta drinkin' wine, wine, wine
I don't know what i'm doing here, i should be someplace else
Like in kentucky drinkin' clear moonshine
