The glasses were all plastic
Little balls of no-name soap
No cable on the TV
The ice-machine was brokeWell, I guess that's what you get
For nineteen bucks an' some change
But the cheapest motel in town
Cost him everythingThey used the Bible for a coaster
An' it never crossed their mind
Maybe they should've opened it
'Stead of that high-dollar wineIt was just their little secret
A hideaway out West Main
But the cheapest motel in town
Cost him everythingHe went from home in the suburbs
To an apartment in town
From bein' met at the door by two little kids
To a stray dog he'd foundHe paid the price for pleasure
Now he can't afford the pain
An' the cheapest motel in town
Cost him everythingThey thought no one would find 'em
But it isn't hard to spot
A brand new black Mercedes-Benz
In that gravel parkin' lotHe fooled his wife till one night
She saw something he couldn't explain
An' the cheapest motel in town
Cost him everythingHe went from home in the suburbs
To an apartment in town
From bein' met at the door by two little kids
To a stray dog he'd foundHe paid the price for pleasure
Now he can't afford the pain
Yeah, the cheapest motel in town
Cost him everythingIt cost him everything
Cost him everything
