Girlfriend

Room 421
an airport hotel
I know I should be sleeping
but it抯 too soon to tell
if I抣l fly out tomorrow
if I抣l see her tomorrow
I hope that I will.
no place like alone
and no sound like my own voice
fading into
this quiet december night
but I抦 doing alright
I 抣l make a phone call or two

Could I get some room service please?
send the maid in to see
about a few things I need

Do you think you could
bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
just make sure it抯 mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to Jesus
to clean up my soul

Miles from my own bed
further from content
I guess I should get used to this
still rain on the runway
but I抦 doing okay
I 抳e got cigarettes to kiss

Could I get some room service please?
I 抦 down on my knees
I 抦 only here for tonight
æ…¶ause they fucked up my flight
serenading the wall
and I thought I should call
you to ask for it all
for it all
for it all

Remember to

Bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
make sure it抯 mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to jesus
to clean up my soul.

Dial seven for a savior
is this soul keeping please...
could you put me through to jesus
I 抣l pay your long-distance fees
he said hello and god bless you.
there抯 a bible in the drawer.
I said that抯 wonderful sir. but I don抰 read it anymore
I don抰 read it any more...

Bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
make sure it抯 mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to jesus
to clean up my soul
bring me my girlfriend
and a bottle of wine
bring me a future
just make sure it抯 mine
will you open the window
but leave out the cold
could you make a phone call to Jesus
to clean up my soul
yeah
could you bring me my girlfriend
yeah
bring me a smile

Room 421
a cleveland hotel
I know I should be sleeping
but it抯 too soon to tell
if I抣l fly out tomorrow
if I抣l see her tomorrow
I hope that I will.
