Butch HancockWell, I was standin' at a big hotel, just wishin' everybody wellIf anybody paid me any mind, it was hard to tellThen a big cop on his beat, took out his pistol and pointed at meLookin' down the barrel, I swore I saw the gates of hellStanding at the big hotelWell, I walked on down the avenue,Just lookin' for someone that I looked like youI couldn't see a face that seemed to ring a bellAnd then I stopped beside the five and dimeJust window shoppin' and wastin' timeAlong came a gal, she sold me all she had to sellShe left me standin' at the big hotelChorus:And then I lost my mind, in the wilds of HollywoodThen I spent some time in the shadows where I stoodAnd I let those cards fall just where they fellAnd then I found myself, standin' at the big hotelLord, Lord, what's the matter with meI pay so much for the song I singAnd all I'm doin' is singin' em to myselfIt's like standin' in a stagnant streamWith no water in the world left to drinkI was down at the bottom of a dried up wishin' wellJust standin' at a big hotelChorus
