I told my woman that I've only begun for a couple of days
I had a friend who was in need of a guitar picker in the worst way
When I kissed my woman goodbye, well she yelled out as I drove by
Cause you let me catch you staying in a holiday hotel
I bought myself a ticket on the highway express, I was there set for Modesto
When I met my little buddy he said, and I said fine friend
He told me that he had a surprise, but what he didn't I was finally surmised
I was standing there holding the key to a holiday hotel
I was standing there holding the key to a holiday hotel

Waking up in the morning by the ring of the phone, it was a hotel operator
He got a message from a friend who checked out and he said, I'll see you later
He went out before he paid my bread, I remember what my baby just said
Don't you let me catch you staying in a holiday hotel
I told my woman that I'd only be gone for a couple of days
I had a friend who wasn't need of a guitar picker in the worst way
Well, I kissed my woman goodbye, well, she allowed us to go by
Don't you let me catch you staying in a holiday hotel
Don't you let me catch you staying in a holiday hotel
Don't you let me catch you staying in a holiday hotel
