Hotel Blues
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi



Well I ain't bragging, but you know it's true
That I live my life making music for you
I've had some good times and I've had some bad
But I'd do it all again and I wouldn't be sad

Well I lived in the house of joy 
and I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage
I'm gonna die in this hotel room

Well I've been riding in them limousines
And I've had my pictures in the magazines
I've had some good girls and I've had some bad
And I've had the ones that nearly drive you mad

Well I lived in the house of joy
and I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage
I'm gonna die in this hotel room

Well my manager keeps telling me
You've gotta keep on working to survive
He's constantly reminding me
the fact that making money ain't no jive

I've traveled this wide world 
And I've sang my blues
And I've played everything from jazz to Blue Suede Shoes
I've played 'em in downtown
I've played to rednecks
I've slayed 'em in one town, and I've died in the next

Well I lived in the house of joy
And I lived in the house of gloom
But if I don't die playing on stage brother
I'm gonna, 0 you know what I'm talking about
Take me home ....
