[Verse 1] Oh this hotel room’s gotta lot of stuff Laundry bag and shoe shine cloth Thirty two hangers and touch-tone phone Well a light that goes on when I ain’t home I’ ain’t home I ain’t home You better leave a message ’cause I ain’t home [Verse 2] They got an air conditioner for when I’m hot They gotta a radiator for when I’m not And two big chairs sitting side by side with a holy bible and TV Guide TV Guide TV Guide Great God Almighty It’s a TV Guide [Verse 3] They gotta second story view from curb to curb They gotta a sign that says please don’t disturb They gotta monogrammed towel and bucket of ice A chest of drawers and a mirror that lies A mirror that lies a mirror that lies That can’t be me in the gorilla disguise [Verse 4] They got a room service menu for food and drink They gotta a porcelain throne and an aluminum sink And two big pillows to rest my head A Magic Fingers on a king size bed [Verse 5] Drop in a quarter and turn out the light Magic Fingers make you feel alright Feel alright feel alright Magic Fingers makes you feel alright Feel alright feel alright Magic Fingers makes you feel alright [Verse 6] Now this ol’ hotel’s alright with me They pay the postage when you lose your key This hotel room has gotta lot of stuff But I believe I’ve had enough [Verse 7] And I called about baby said don’t you pout I’m packin’ my bags and checkin’ out Just as soon as you hang up that telephone Put a candle in the window I’m comin’ home I’m comin’ home comin’ home Put a candle in the window I’m comin’ home [Outro] Comin’ home comin’ home Put a candle in the window I’m comin’ home

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la vie dans une chambre d'hôtel, remplie de toutes sortes d'objets du quotidien, d'un téléphone à des cintres, en passant par une Bible. L’artiste décrit avec humour et tendresse les commodités offertes, tout en soulignant le sentiment de solitude qui accompagne ce style de vie. Au fil des couplets, il montre son envie de quitter cet endroit et de revenir chez lui, avec une promesse de retrouver la chaleur du foyer en allumant une bougie à la fenêtre. Cette transition entre l'éphémère d'une chambre d'hôtel et le désir de retour à l'intimité d'un chez-soi est au cœur de ses pensées.
