    Motel Soldier
    To the tune of Southern Soldier


    I put my knapsack on my back,
    My rifle on my shoulder.
    And drive away to the Holiday Inn,
    Before it gets much colder.
    Befor It gets much colder.
    I'll drive away to the Holiday Inn,
    Befor it gets much colder

    I bid fare well to my wife and child,
    Farewell to my aged mother.
    I'll be safe and sound at the Super 8,
    Before the battle's over.
    Before the battle's over.
    I'll be safe and sound at the Super 8,
    Befor the battle's over.

    If I should sleep on the battlefield,
    My pard might hog the covers.
    I'll go and sleep in a king size bed,
    And phone my dear old mother.
    And phone my dear old mother.
    I'll go and sleep in a king sized bed,
    And phone my dear old mother.

    If one of my pards should get lost,
    We'll find him I assure you.
    We'll meet up at the Motel 6,
    They'll leave the light on for you.
    They'll leave the light on for you.
    We'll meet up at the Motel 6,
    They'll leave the light on for you.

    Befor I rest my weary head,
    Where Jack Frost cannot harm me,
    I'll place my wakeup call for 6,
    So I can Join the army.
    SO I can join the army.
    I'll place my wakeup call for 6,
    So I can join the army.

    You can surround my motel room,
    And tell me I am cornered.
    I won't check out intill I get
    The room service I ordered.

    Very nice, James.

    Do you have any more, per chance?

      I attended the War of 1812 reenactment at Mississenawa, Indiana. Those guys slept beneath tents and it was in the low '40s or high '30s that night too. Brrrr. I give those guys a lot of credit. You couldn't get me to do that. Me, I drove up from my warm motel room near Indianapolis to watch the show and talk with people.
