Capo 1
I'm just four Bmwalls with a little paint, a picture here or there
I got a GBible in my dresser, just in case somebody cares
BmI've been here forever, 1959
My Gname is on the front door, they call me 205
And Bmman you can't imagine, the things that happen here
I've Gseen my share of laughing and I've seen a lot of tears
BmDrug deals and last meals and love that seemed so real
UnGtil I saw the flash of those hundred dollar bills
But let me Atell you something crazy, that I'd never seen before
Starts with GJohnny and Katie, first time they walked through my door
Chorus 1:
It was a BmFriday night, late fall
After a Ghigh school football Agame
They snuck away, in a Bmbeat up Chevrolet
Yeah they Bmmade love for the first time
Till that GCarolina sun came Aup
That's where it all beGgan
At the AConway Motor BmInn
Well they lBmit a cigarette, and talked about their lives
Said thGey were getting married, after graduation night
It Bmall seemed so perfect, but they didn't have a clue
GThat one be one of them would be right back here with someone new
BmNow fast forward four years, and that white picket fence
GIt ain't holding out what it should be keeping in
ASee, I see Katie on the weekends, when Johnny's working nights
GAnd the man she's coming here with, ain't the man I recognize
Chorus 2:
BmIt was a Friday night, late fall
After a hGigh school footAball game
They snuck awayBm, in her lover's Escalade
Yeah they made love for the first time
Till JohnGny's graveyard shAift was up
Both livin' in siGn
At the CAonway MotBmor Inn
Bridge:
BmTonight Johnny ain't working, cause he's right here with me
With a Gpistol in his right hand, just waitin' on the key
To Bmturn in my door, and when they both walk in
He Glays that hammer down, and that's where this story ends
Chorus 3:
BmIt was a Friday night, late fall
After a hGigh school footAball game
They snuck Bmaway, in a beat up Chevrolet
Yeah they made love for the first time
Till Gthat Carolina Asun came up
That's where it alGl began
And that's where it all ends
AAt the Conway MBmotor Inn
At the Conway Motor Inn
Outro:
I've been here forever, 1959
My name is on the front door, they call me 205

Capo 1

I'm just four walls with a little paint, a picture here or there

I got a Bible in my dresser, just in case somebody cares

I've been here forever, 1959

My name is on the front door, they call me 205

And man you can't imagine, the things that happen here

I've seen my share of laughing and I've seen a lot of tears

Drug deals and last meals and love that seemed so real

Until I saw the flash of those hundred dollar bills

But let me tell you something crazy, that I'd never seen before

Starts with Johnny and Katie, first time they walked through my door

Chorus 1:

It was a Friday night, late fall

G A

After a high school football game

They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet

Yeah they made love for the first time

G A

Till that Carolina sun came up

That's where it all began

A Bm

At the Conway Motor Inn

Well they lit a cigarette, and talked about their lives

Said they were getting married, after graduation night

It all seemed so perfect, but they didn't have a clue

That one be one of them would be right back here with someone new

Now fast forward four years, and that white picket fence

It ain't holding out what it should be keeping in

See, I see Katie on the weekends, when Johnny's working nights

And the man she's coming here with, ain't the man I recognize

Chorus 2:

It was a Friday night, late fall

G A

After a high school football game

They snuck away, in her lover's Escalade

Yeah they made love for the first time

G A

Till Johnny's graveyard shift was up

Both livin' in sin

A Bm

At the Conway Motor Inn

Bridge:

Tonight Johnny ain't working, cause he's right here with me

With a pistol in his right hand, just waitin' on the key

To turn in my door, and when they both walk in

He lays that hammer down, and that's where this story ends

Chorus 3:

It was a Friday night, late fall

G A

After a high school football game

They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet

Yeah they made love for the first time

G A

Till that Carolina sun came up

That's where it all began

And that's where it all ends

A Bm

At the Conway Motor Inn

Outro:

I've been here forever, 1959

My name is on the front door, they call me 205
