In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel

When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime

When I'm on the ground I roll through town

In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds

As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around

You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
