There's a few too many years on this hotel She used to be a beauty you can tell The lights down in the lobby they don't shine Just flicker while the elevator whines
And the couple in the corner of the bar Have traveled light and clearly traveled far She's got nothing left to learn about his heart They're sitting there a thousand miles apart
Baby let's not ever get that way I'll say whatever words I need to say I'll throw rocks at your window from the street We'll call ourselves the flagship of the fleet
There's a lady shining shoes up by the door Cowboy boots for seven dollars more I remember how you love to see them shine So I run upstairs and get a pair of mine
There's a painting on the wall beside the bed Watercolor sky at Hilton Head And I see you in that summer when we met And that boy you left in tears in his corvette
Baby let's not ever get that way I'll drive you to the ocean everyday We'll stay up in the presidential suite And call ourselves the flagship of the fleet
You got to try to keep yourself naive In spite of all the evidence Volunteer to lose touch with the world And focus on one solitary girl
Baby let's not live to see it fade I'll cancel all the plans I ever made I'll drive and you can ride in the back seat We'll call ourselves the flagship of the fleet
