Maybe Tonight Songtext
von Murray McLauchlan

It′s a song for travelin' salesmen
I′m one

The miles roll by and your back is wet
And the shadows grow so long
It seems a million miles and a long, long while
Since you turned that motor on
The three-piece suit on the backseat rack
Gettin' shiny from bein' used

Maybe tonight at the motor hotel
There′ll be a stewardess and a glass of booze
A lady who don′t sing the blues


Your eyeballs twitch and your back is stiff
And your leg is in the land of dreams
The order book has an empty look
You feel a little worn around the seams
The padded dashboard radio
Crackles the nowhere news

Maybe tonight at the motor hotel
There'll be a stewardess and a glass of booze
A lady who don′t sing the blues

Ev'rybody has ambition
Ev′rybody has a dream
But ev'rybody don′t get to be kings and queens
That seems to be the way it seems
You get a sample case and an order book
And a smile for when you feel abused

Maybe tonight at the motor hotel
There'll be a stewardess and a glass of booze
A lady who don't sing the blues
