Tell me, what do people do
|
When there ain't nothin' to do?
|
When there's nobody else around to do
|
Nothin' with or to
|
Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room
|
Where the diners all close at nine
|
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
|
And you just can't get to sleep
|
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
|
|
Tell me what do people say
|
When there ain't nothin' to say?
|
When there's nobody else around to help you pass the time of day
|
Have you ever stared at the ceiling
|
Till you thought you'd lose your mind
|
Looked for a wall that you could climb
|
Still you just can't get to sleep
|
Even tho' there's nothin' on your mind?
|
|
Have you ever been stuck in a small town motel
|
Lookin' all around but there ain't nothin' to see
|
In a never endin' mind bendin', troublin' position
|
Sayin' why did it happen to me?
|
|
Tell me, what do people do
|
When there ain't nothin' to do?
|
When there's nobody else around to do
|
Nothin' with or to
|
Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room
|
Where the diners all close at nine
|
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
|
And you just can't get to sleep
|
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
|
|
Tell me, what do people do
|
When there ain't nothin' to do?
|
When there's nobody else around to do
|
Nothin' with or to
|
Hope you never in that position in a small town motel room
|
Where the diners all close at nine
|
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
|
Till you just can't get to sleep
|
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
