Hotel Blues

Well, I ain't bragging but you know it's true
That I live my life making music for you
I've had some good times and I've had some bad
But I'd do it all again and I wouldn't be sad

Well, I lived in the house of joy
And I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage
I'm gonna die in this hotel room

Well, I've been riding in them limousines
And I've had my pictures in the magazines
I've had some good girls and I've had some bad
And I've had the ones that nearly drive you mad

Well, I lived in the house of joy
And I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage
I'm gonna die in this hotel room

Well, my manager keeps telling me
You've gotta keep on working to survive
He's constantly reminding me
The fact that making money ain't no jive

I've traveled this wide world and I've sang my blues
And I've played everything from jazz to 'Blue Suede Shoes'
I've played 'em in downtown, I've played to rednecks
I've slayed 'em in one town and I've died in the next

Well, I lived in the house of joy and I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage brother
I'm gonna, 0 you know what I'm talking about
Take me home

HeIlo sir, this is the reception speaking
We've got a girl down here says she's a a friend of yours
Hello what?
This is the reception speaking
We've got a girl down here says she's a friend of yours

I don't know any girl could you get me the road manager's room
All right sir
Hello Mick
Hello

What time are we leaving for the gig?
We got to go right now
No I'm not ready
Bloody hell, this is the worst job I've ever had
Get me out of this room, ah
