Talkin' to myself again
Wonderin' if this travelin' is good
Is they're something else a' doin'
We'd be doin' if we could 

But all the stories we could tell
If it all blows up and goes to hell
I wish that we could sit upon the bed in some motel
Listen to the stories we could tell 

Stared at that guitar in that museum in Tennessee
Nameplate on the glass brought back twenty melodies
Scars upon the face told about all the times he fell
Singin' all the stories he could tell 

All the stories he could tell
And I'll bet you it still rings like a bell
I wish that we could sit upon the bed in some motel
And listen to the stories it could tell 

So if you're on the road trackin' down your every night
Playin' for a livin' beneath brightly colored lights
If you ever wonder why you ride the carousel
You do it for the stories you can tell 

All the stories we could tell
And if it all blows up and goes to hell
I wish that we could sit upon the bed in some motel
Just listen to the stories we could

Yes, I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
And listen to the stories it could tell
