[Verse 1]
SGunday night, it's supper time
TEmhe hotel's full and all is fine
YCou can see that neon no vacancy sign
FDrom the window of room 39
MGonday morning at half past eight
EEmverbody's gone they've left no trace
IC sit alone as the day grows late
WDait to see your friendly face
WGhy you chose my hotel
IEm'm not real qualified to tell
ICt's just your face I remember well
WDhen you asked if I had a room to sell
WGell, maybe you liked just what you saw
TEmhe cable tv and the indoor spa
OCr maybe it was the low low price
2D7 bucks a night. G
[Chorus]
TEmhey say the highway is for lovG*ers
BEmut he aiCn't no friend of miG*ne
CEmoz every time I find my heart
I loCse it to that long yellow lDineD*
[Verse 2]
GYou checked in I checked you out
EmYou smiled from the corners of your mouth
CI turned on the no vacancy sign
DAs you checked in to room 39
GI saw the light from your tv
EmYou were watching channel 23
CThe night was long, the dark was deep
DI kind of cried myself to sleepG
[Chorus]
TEmhey say the highway is for lovG*ers
BEmut he aiCn't no friend of miG*ne
CEmoz every time I find my heart
I loCse it to that long yellow lDineD*
[Verse 3]
GMorning broke itself at last
EmYou got your continental breakfast
CDropped off the key and said goodbye
DI think i thought I head you sigh
GI caught a glimpse of your license plate
EmAs you were drifting down the interstate
CIt said you were from delaware
DI said oh it must be gorgeous there G
[Chorus]
TEmhey say the highway is for lovG*ers
BEmut he aiCn't no friend of miG*ne
CEmoz every time I find my heart
I loCse it to that long yellow lDineD*
To that long yellow line G
