Chase Rice Room 205
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
It was a Friday night, late fall
After a high school football game
They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet
Yeah they made love for the first time,
Till that Carolina sun came up
That's where it all began
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
It was a Friday night, late fall
After a high school football game
They snuck away, in her lover's Escalade
Yeah they made love for the first time,
Till Johnny's graveyard shift was up
Both livin' in sin
At the Conway Motor Inn
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
It was a Friday night, late fall
After a high school football game
They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet
Yeah they made love for the first time,
Till that Carolina sun came up
That's where it all began
And that's where it all ends
At the Conway Motor Inn
At the Conway Motor Inn
I've been here forever, 1959
My name is on the front door, they call me 205
