Tom T. Hall
Spokane Motel Blues
[Chorus:]
I dont know what Im doing here, I could be someplace else
Like in Atlanta drinkin wine, wine, wine
I dont know what Im doing here, I should be someplace else
Like in Kentucky drinkin shine, shine, shine

[Verse 1:]
The dogs are running down in Memphis
And them nags are running in L.A. yeah
Im stuck in Spokane in a motel room
And there ain't no way to get away
Willie Nelsons picking out in Austin
And Waylons hanging out in Mexico
Im stuck in Spokane in a motel room
And Cris is making movin picture shows

[Chorus:]
Hey, I dont know what Im doing here, I could be someplace else
Like in Atlanta drinkin wine, wine, wine
I dont know what Im doing here, I should be someplace else
Like in Kentucky drinkin shine, shine, shine

[Verse 2:]
Well I know theyre dancing in New Orleans
And old Chicagos bright as day
Im stuck in Spokane in a motel room
Lord, I wish I had a Dolly Parton tape
Well Hill and Bare and Billy Joe theyre gambling
And ol TPs frying croppie all night long
Theyre down at Tootsies eating chili
Im stuck in Spokane a writing songs
[Chorus:]
Hey, I dont know what Im doing here, I could be someplace else
Like in Atlanta drinkin wine, wine, wine
I dont know what Im doing here, I should be someplace else
Like in Kentucky drinkin clear moonshine
