Downtown Hotel Blues

And I ain't got a wink of sleep, since I don't know when.

I'm stayin' in the Doubletree, and night keeps draggin' on.

But that train horn keeps a blowin,' shoulda gone to Marriott..

Was sleeping like a baby, when I heard that awful sound,Louder than a siren, rollin' through downtown.So I called down to the lobby, just to hear them lie."You can go right back to sleep, sir. It's easy if you try."

So instead I'll pop two Ambien, and sleep my blues away.
