McCOY HOTEL (Tucson Time)

Well, it’s hotter than hell in Tucson
I don’t feel like driving anymore
I’ve been driving like a demon since the crack of dawn
I’ll find somewhere to rest my head
With a swimming pool and a queen-sized bed
Hell, no one back in L.A. even knows I’m gone

Well, this little hotel is the real McCoy
It’s got everything to please this boy
The room is clean and the air is strong
So I’ll lay right down and listen
To my heart telling me what I’m missing
But I’ll soon believe it’s just as well
While I’m doing my Tucson time at the McCoy Hotel

Well, it’s hotter than hell in Tucson
But I was living in hell with you
I got used to the heat but Tucson has a better view
You were someone I could believe in
Now, I’m lying here shaking my head
After telling everyone you’re the best love I ever had

Well, this little hotel is the real McCoy
It’s got everything to please this boy
The room is clean and the air is strong
So I’ll lay right down and listen
To my heart telling me what I’m missing
But I’ll soon believe it’s just as well
While I’m doing my Tucson time at the McCoy Hotel

The desert is hotter than fire
There are stars as far as you can see
And even though I know that I left you, girl
I’m still wishing you were here with me

Yeah, it’s hotter than hell in Tucson
But I was living in hell with you
Now, I would rather be alone in Tucson, baby
Because Tucson…Tucson has a better view

Well, this little hotel is the real McCoy
It’s got everything to please this boy
The room is clean and the air is strong
So I’ll lay right down and listen
To my heart telling me what I’m missing
But I’ll soon believe it’s just as well
While I’m doing my Tucson time at the McCoy Hotel

(Tucson time…)
At the McCoy Hotel
(Tucson time…)
At the McCoy Hotel
(Tucson time…)
At the McCoy Hotel
(Tucson time…)
At the McCoy Hotel
(Tucson time at the McCoy Hotel…)
