Jump out of the mainstream

lyrics

Sidestreet Motel – © 2021 John Michael Lind & Karen Jarrett

If you’re on a good run, or a road right straight from hell,
You owe it to yourself to rest for a spell.
Spend some time at the Sidestreet Motel.

It’s got the best rates in town, by the month or the week or the day,
Everybody says they’re gonna leave but they always seem to stay
The Sidestreet Motel won’t let you get away.

Chorus:
Sidestreet Motel, Sidestreet Motel
It’s a little bit of heaven in the middle of hell.
Spend some time at the Sidestreet Motel.

Rocketship Bobby, he lives in Number 10,
He’s waiting for his spaceship since I don’t know when.
He’s waiting for it to take him home again.

Far-Out Frank, he’s the guy with the weed,
He’s got everything a body could need.
He sells it cheap “There’s bad Karma in greed.”

Bridge:
So come on now, jump out of the mainstream.
Life is better when… you’re living your own dream.

Instr. Chorus

Duster Davy’s he’s a hot-rod boy, he likes his fast cars.
He’s says he’s checking out soon, but he ain’t goin’ too far.
He’ll be up there drag-racing the stars.

Chorus
