Procol Harum - Last Chance Motel

Most all of my life I've been pretty clean But my best friend's wife was the best girl I've ever seen It was like she stepped straight out of the silver screen And hit me right between the eyes I guess I'm more appealing than I thought I was 'Cause the next thing I knew, her smile was flashing applause And I was contemplating breaking that big law Was that really such a surprise? Society keeps saying, "Whoa! Hold it down!" Billboards are telling me, "Shop it around!" My life before her was some kind of hell Till those nights at the Last Chance Motel The juggernaut rolled on and pretty soon We were doing truck-stops in that old rundown room And it looked like nothing could burst the balloon And we got careless and discovered Society keeps saying, "Whoa! Hold it down!" Billboards are telling me I gotta shop it around My life before her was some kind of hell Till those nights at the Last Chance Motel Society keeps saying, "Whoa! Hold it down!" Billboards are scrreaming, "Shop it around!" My life before her was some kind of hell Till those nights at the Last Chance Motel Got myself beaten up and ostracised Punishment for running wild, and all those lies She got a bullet between those big blue eyes I left my heart at the Last Chance Motel
