She met him in a motel room in the shady part of town With a set of satin sheets pulled back And the window shades pulled down Like a cotton dress, she let her fears fall down to the ground With a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door She whispered I've never prayed to you before Some people meet him in a church at a service on Sunday As the preacher says the perfect words, they bow their heads to pray And the choir sings a sweet forgiveness tune She met him in a motel room With a bottle full of sleeping pills and a long list of sins She'd already planned on checking out before she checked in She was gonna leave a goodbye note Just needed paper and a pen With that vacancy light blinking red She found that bible in the drawer beside the bed Some people meet him in a church at a service on Sunday As the preacher says the perfect words, they bow their heads to pray And the choir sings a sweet forgiveness tune She met him in a motel room No choir sang a sweet forgiveness tune That's not the way that they were introduced She met him in a motel room She met him in a motel room
