Surely you remember this old resort hotel
It's pink and white all over
And historical as hell
And Scott & Zelda stayed here
And you and me as well
At least that's how the story goes the porters like to tell Now a cold hard rain comes pourin down
It wasn't like this last time around
There's no calm center to this storm
Oh baby why don't you quit leavin me alone There's nothin on the tv
No message on the phone
And nothin but an awful lot of nothin goin on
And every radio station plays the same forsaken song
You'd think I woulda had the sense to leave this place alone Some dreams die with dignity
They fade out clean and quietly
But some won't let you let em go
Oh baby why don't you quit leavin me alone
