BROOKS & DUNN LYRICS - My Heart's Not A Hotel

"My Heart's Not A Hotel"



When your headlights cut across my wall,

Yeah, I thought it might be you.

Lookin' for a place to fall,

An' talkin' sweet, an' thinkin' small.



Seekin' out convenient arms,

Yeah, to rest in for a while.

Someone to keep you safe an' warm,

While you ride out your latest storm.



Oh, my heart's not a hotel you can check in an' out of...

It's not a, a temporary shelter, it's a home for someone's love.

Don't just come here when you're lonely knowing, full well, you won't stay,

'Cause I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.

Oh, don't let the dawn find me asleep,

On a pillow of regret.

Take all my change, just leave the key,

An' let me keep my dignity.



'Cause my heart's not a hotel you can check in an' out of...

It's not a, a temporary shelter, it's a home for someone's love.

Don't just come here when you're lonely knowing, full well, you won't stay,

'Cause I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.

[Instrumental break]



No don't just come here when you're lonely knowing, full well, you won't stay,

'Cause I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.

I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.

[Instrumental Close]
