The one I care for don't mind, she's built that Dway
I would gAladly offer you my love
In this hotel in Somewhere U.S.DA.
GThis rented car never went so far

Somewhere U.S.A.

Out on the road like a lowdown Joe

And the bar where we are is so cool I'd like to stay

Misunderstood like I knew I would be

The one I care for don't mind, she's built that way

I would gladly offer you my love

In this hotel in Somewhere U.S.A.

This rented car never went so far

but with each passing mile one more dream had turned to clay

Now that we've met and your eyes are all wet

Let me fetch my guitar, there's a song I'd like to play

I would gladly offer you my song

In this hotel in Somewhere U.S.A.

[Solo]

One never knows where the good times go

If you got some to spend, we'll do anything you say

I'd never lie, well you know I've tried

Though you think it's the drink that has made me behave this way

I would gladly offer you my love

In this hotel in Somewhere U.S.A.
