I'm just four walls with a little paint
A picture here or there
I got a Bible in my dresser
Just in case somebody cares
I've been here forever 1959
My name is on the front door they call me 205
And man you can't imagine
The things that happen here
I've seen my share of laughing
And I've seen a lot of tears
Drug deals and last meals
And love that seemed so real
Until I saw the flash of those hundred dollar bills
But let me tell you something crazy
That I'd never seen before
Starts with Johnny and Katie
First time they walked through my door
It was a Friday night late fall
After a high school football game
They snuck away in a beat up Chevrolet
Yeah they made love for the first time
Till that Carolina sun came up
That's where it all began
At the Conway Motor Inn
Well they lit a cigarette
And talked about their lives
Said they were getting married
After graduation night
It all seemed so perfect
But they didn't have a clue
That one be one of them would be right
Back here with someone new
Now fast forward four years
And that white picket fence
It ain't holding out
What it should be keeping in
See I see Katie on the weekends
When Johnny's working nights
And the man she's coming here with
Ain't the man I recognize
It was a Friday night late fall
After a high school football game
They snuck away in her lover's Escalade
Yeah they made love for the first time
Till Johnny's graveyard shift was up
Both livin' in sin
At the Conway Motor Inn
Tonight Johnny ain't working
Cause he's right here with me
With a pistol in his right hand
Just waitin' on the key
To turn in my door
And when they both walk in
He lays that hammer down
And that's where this story ends
It was a Friday night late fall
After a high school football game
They snuck away in a beat up Chevrolet
Yeah they made love for the first time
Till that Carolina sun came up
That's where it all began
And that's where it all ends
At the Conway Motor Inn
At the Conway Motor Inn
I've been here forever 1959
My name is on the front door
They call me 205
