Met Him In A Motel Room

She met him in a motel room in the shady part of town
With a set of satin sheets pulled back
And the window shades pulled down
Like a cotton dress, she let her fears fall down to the ground

With a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door
She whispered I've never prayed to you before

Some people meet him in a church at a service on Sunday
As the preacher says the perfect words, they bow their heads to pray
And the choir sings a sweet forgiveness tune
She met him in a motel room

With a bottle full of sleeping pills and a long list of sins
She'd already planned on checking out before she checked in
She was gonna leave a goodbye note
Just needed paper and a pen

With that vacancy light blinking red
She found that bible in the drawer beside the bed

Some people meet him in a church at a service on Sunday
As the preacher says the perfect words, they bow their heads to pray
And the choir sings a sweet forgiveness tune
She met him in a motel room

No choir sang a sweet forgiveness tune
That's not the way that they were introduced
She met him in a motel room
She met him in a motel room
