Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

[Interlude 1]
[D][F][D][F][D][F][D]
[Dm]I'm [F]in a

[Verse 2]
[Dm]motel [D]room in
Devonport
Waiting on the resurrec[G]tion
Waiting for a [Em]light to shine
Waiting for this [A]hard luck
story of mine to en[D]d
Well, I've just finished a meal of white rice,
black beans and [G]okra
I had me some [Em]wine,
I'm feeling par[A]ticularly fine, my [D]friend
And the [G]moon has [Bm]changed
from [Em]black to blue to [G]green
And the [Bm]interstate [D]twists into the [C]sky
Well, the [G]noontime [D]crew has
[A]made this place look [G]new
And I [D]might just stay [A]good
until I [D]die[Dm][F][D][Dm][D]
[Dm]I'm in a m[D]otel room in
Davenport
Just about a quarter mile
[G]from the interstate
I've been thinking about
[Em]God
I've been thinking it's [A]hard how
we don't have cable at [D]home
If I get myself together, I could be in
Missouri by [G]morning
I'm waiting on [Em]no one now,
no one [Bm]can s[A]low you down when you're a[Dm]ll a[F]lone[Dm][D]
[Dm]An d[D] the moo[G]d has ch[Bm]anged
from [Em]black to blue to [G]green
And the [Bm]interstate [D]twists into the [C]sky
And the [G]noontime [D]crew has
[A]made this place look [G]new
Well, I [D]might just stay [A]put until I [D]die[F][D][Dm][F]
[D][Dm][F][D][Dm][D][F][D]
[Dm][F][D][Dm][F][D][F][D]
[Dm]I a mo[D]tel room in
Davenport
Working on a certain inspiration
[G]One you can't get[Em] in
L .A.
No matter how [A]much you pay
Or you [D]pretend
You got a copy of the
Gideon
Bible
And each and every
[G]Mad stain,
next to the [Em]massage parlor head
Neither [A]choice is too bad
if you need a [D]friend
But my [G]mood has [Bm]changed
from [Em]black to blue to [G]green
And the [Bm]interstate [D]twists into the [C]sky
And the [G]noontime [D]crew has
[A]made this place new
[G]And I [D]might just stay [A]good until I [D]die[F][D]
[F]I'm in a [D]motel room in
Davenport
