From the neon light of a liquor store to a flashin' motel sign
I bought a room and did my best to disappear inside
Took the phone off of the hook and put the sign out on the door
Opened up that bottle and let it poor till it was goneGrabbed an ash tray from the dresser and lit a cigarette
I turned off the TV and laid down on the bed
I smoked one to the filter and I watched the ashes fall
Blew smoke rings at your memory as it danced across the wall
Till it was goneI burned up all my chances like this book of motel matches
The guilt cuts through the night, like a knife cuts to the bone
When you got no pride to spend and heartache has no end
Just let those demons loose and just hold on, just hold onThe mornin' showed no mercy as the sun bled through the blinds
Silent films of you and me flashed behind my eyes
I shook off the whiskey but I could not shake the fact
I was a fool, didn't know what I had till it was gone
I burned up all my chances like this book of motel matches
The guilt cuts through the night, like a knife cuts to the bone
When you got no pride to spend and heartache has no end
Just let those demons loose and just hold on, just hold on
Till it's gone
Till it's gone
Oohh
Till it's gone
Mmm
Till it's gone
