 Rate Findlay’s Motel
Artist : Walkabouts
Song : Findlay’s motel
Findlay was on his last legs
Findlay was on his last legs
But he made the rules
But he made the rules
Said suffer fools gladly
Said suffer fools gladly
But never end up as the sufferin’ fool
But never end up as the sufferin’ fool
He shook me down
He shook me down
Though it was my first week on the job
Though it was my first week on the job
Said travellers will trick you
Said travellers will trick you
But you will find out all them things for
yourself
But you will find out all them things for
yourself
Yes you will
Yes you will
Findlay he threw me the keys
Findlay he threw me the keys
As he walked outside
As he walked outside
And he turned on the big neon sign
And he turned on the big neon sign
But only half of it burned
But only half of it burned
And I was there fightin’ off dreams
And I was there fightin’ off dreams
When she pulled in the drive
When she pulled in the drive
The sound of her wheels woke me up
The sound of her wheels woke me up
And there she was, standin’ inside
And there she was, standin’ inside
By the stretch
By the stretch
Of a pine barren road
Of a pine barren road
Where the night
Where the night
Never did what was told
Never did what was told
(I never did what was told)
(I never did what was told)
Rooms for the night
Rooms for the night
Room for your rest
Room for your rest
Rooms for the night
Rooms for the night
At findlay’s motel
At findlay’s motel
She looked like she had come down
She looked like she had come down
From the rattlesnake hills
From the rattlesnake hills
And she pushed the gun to my jaw
And she pushed the gun to my jaw
And told me to clean out the till
And told me to clean out the till
As I handed her over the cash
As I handed her over the cash
Findlay limped in
Findlay limped in
The old man he reached for her gun
The old man he reached for her gun
But she was stronger than him
But she was stronger than him
Yes she was
Yes she was
By the stretch
By the stretch
Of a pine barren road
Of a pine barren road
Where the night
Where the night
Never did what was told
Never did what was told
(I never did what was told)
(I never did what was told)
Rooms for the night
Rooms for the night
Room for your rest
Room for your rest
Rooms for the night
Rooms for the night
At findlay’s motel
At findlay’s motel
Now bullets don’t care what they hit
Now bullets don’t care what they hit
And findlay went down
And findlay went down
And she dropped the gun to the floor
And she dropped the gun to the floor
And said, you best call somone now
And said, you best call somone now
But my eyes they were fixed on the door
But my eyes they were fixed on the door
And I walked straight outside
And I walked straight outside
Said suffer fools gladly
Said suffer fools gladly
As long as this sufferin’ keeps you alive
As long as this sufferin’ keeps you alive
For a spell
For a spell
