Lyrics

There's a few too many
Years on this hotel
But she used to be a beauty
You can tell
And the lights down in the lobby
They don't shine
They just flicker
While the elevator winds
And there's a couple
In the corner of the bar
Who've traveled light
And clearly traveled far
She's got nothing left
To learn about his heart
They're sitting there
A thousand miles apart
Baby let's not ever
Get that way
I'll say whatever
Words I need to say
I'll throw rocks at your window
From the street
And we'll call ourselves
The flagship of the fleet
There's a lady shining
Shoes up by the door
And cowboy boots
For seven dollars more
And I remember how you loved
To see them shine
So I run upstairs
To get a pair of mine
And there's a painting
On the wall beside the bed
The watercolored sky
At Hilton Head
Then I see you in
That summer when we met
And that boy you
Left in tears in his Corvette
Baby, let's not ever
Get that way
I'll drive you to
The ocean every day
We'll stay up in
The presidential suite
And call ourselves
The flagship of the fleet
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
You gotta learn
To keep yourself naive
In spite of all
The evidence believed
And volunteer to lose touch
With the world
And focus on one solitary girl
Baby, let's not live
To see it fade
I'll cancel all the plans
I've ever made
I'll drive and you can ride
In the back seat
And we'll call ourselves
The flagship of the fleet
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
