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 have 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
But she met Him in a
motel room
With a bottle full
of sleepin' pills
And a long long list of sins
She'd already planned
on checkin' out
before she checked in
She was gonna leave
a goodbye note
Just needed paper and a pen
With that vacancy light
blinkin' red
She found that bible in the
drawer beside her 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
Oo oo oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo
