When a hotel room's the closest thing you've got to home You could be in Philadelphia, you could even be in Rome You gotta dial nine to get an outside line I even need a concierge just to take a drive - it's a crazy life Well I hope to see your smile - but I'm always wrong It's a different melody but the same old song... Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life Been around the world 'bout a thousand times Still a knock on the door makes me nervous I think I'll see you standing there - but no It's only room service - yeah - room service I've been living out my suitcase as long as I remember Life's the same - it doesn't change - it's a Gibson or a Fender I still think about you babe I swear sometimes I see your face These are crazy days Yeah I think I hear your voice - but it's just a dream It's a brand new movie but the same old scene... Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life Been around the world 'bout a thousand times Still a knock on the door makes me nervous I think I'll see you standing there - but no It's only room service - yeah - room service You know I wouldn't change a thing - no I'm just waiting for the bell in my room to ring Well I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong It's a different melody but the same old song... Yeah I've been on the road nearly all my life Been around the world 'bout a thousand times Still a knock on the door makes me nervous I think I'll see you standing there - but no It's the closest thing I'll ever get to home It's room service - room service - yeah - room service
