When a hotel room's the closest thing you 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
I hope to see you smile — but I'm always wrong
It's a different melody but the same old song
Ya 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 — ya 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
Ya I think I hear your voice — but it's just a dream
It's a brand new movie but the same old scene
Ya 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 — ya room service
Ya know I wouldn't change a thing — no
I'm just waiting for the bell in room to ring
I hope to see you smile — but I'm always wrong
It's a different melody but the same old song
Ya 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 — ya room service
