When a hotel room's the closest thing you've got to home,
You could be in Philadelphia, you could even be in Rome,
You gotta dial nine to get an outside line,
I even need a concierge just to take a drive - it's a crazy life.
Well I hope to see your smile - but I'm always wrong,
It's a different melody but the same old song...
Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life,
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times,
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous,
I think I'll see you standing there - but no,
It's only room service - yeah - room service.
I've been living out my suitcase as long as I remember,
Life's the same - it doesn't change - it's a Gibson or a Fender,
I still think about you babe,
I swear sometimes I see your face,
These are crazy days.
Yeah I think I hear your voice - but it's just a dream,
It's a brand new movie but the same old scene...
Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life,
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times,
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous,
I think I'll see you standing there - but no,
It's only room service - yeah - room service.
You know I wouldn't change a thing - no,
I'm just waiting for the bell in my room to ring,
Well I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong,
It's a different melody but the same old song...
Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life,
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times,
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous,
I think I'll see you standing there - but no,
It's the closest thing I'll ever get to home,
It's room service - room service - yeah - room service.
