When a hotel room's the closest thing you've got to home, You could be in Philadelphia, you could even be in Rome, You gotta dial nine to get an outside line, I even need a concierge just to take a drive - it's a crazy life. Well I hope to see your smile - but I'm always wrong, It's a different melody but the same old song... Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life, Been around the world 'bout a thousand times, Still a knock on the door makes me nervous, I think I'll see you standing there - but no, It's only room service - yeah - room service. I've been living out my suitcase as long as I remember, Life's the same - it doesn't change - it's a Gibson or a Fender, I still think about you babe, I swear sometimes I see your face, These are crazy days. Yeah I think I hear your voice - but it's just a dream, It's a brand new movie but the same old scene... Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life, Been around the world 'bout a thousand times, Still a knock on the door makes me nervous, I think I'll see you standing there - but no, It's only room service - yeah - room service. You know I wouldn't change a thing - no, I'm just waiting for the bell in my room to ring, Well I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong, It's a different melody but the same old song... Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life, Been around the world 'bout a thousand times, Still a knock on the door makes me nervous, I think I'll see you standing there - but no, It's the closest thing I'll ever get to home, It's room service - room service - yeah - room service.
