jerry jeff walker - standin' at the big hotel lyrics

butch hanc-ck

well, i was standin’ at a big hotel, just wishin’ everybody well
if anybody paid me any mind, it was hard to tell
then a big cop on his beat, took out his pistol and pointed at me
lookin’ down the barrel, i swore i saw the gates of h-ll
standing at the big hotel

well, i walked on down the avenue,
just lookin’ for someone that i looked like you
i couldn’t see a face that seemed to ring a bell
and then i stopped beside the five and dime
just window shoppin’ and wastin’ time
along came a gal, she sold me all she had to sell
she left me standin’ at the big hotel

chorus:
and then i lost my mind, in the wilds of hollywood
then i spent some time in the shadows where i stood
and i let those cards fall just where they fell
and then i found myself, standin’ at the big hotel

lord, lord, what’s the matter with me
i pay so much for the song i sing
and all i’m doin’ is singin’ em to myself
it’s like standin’ in a stagnant stream
with no water in the world left to drink
i was down at the bottom of a dried up wishin’ well
just standin’ at a big hotel

chorus
