something to think about...

"the cheapest motel" - tracy byrd

The glasses were all plastic;
Little balls of no-name soap;
No cable on the TV;
The ice-machine was broke.
Well, I guess that's what you get,
For nineteen bucks an' some change.
But the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.

They used the Bible for a coaster,
An' it never crossed their mind:
Maybe they should've opened it,
Instead of that high-dollar wine.
It was just their little secret,
A hideaway out West Main,
But the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.

He went from home in the suburbs,
To an apartment in town.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
To a stray dog he'd found.
He paid the price for pleasure,
Now he can't afford the pain.
An' the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.

They thought no-one would find 'em,
But it isn't hard to spot,
A brand-new black Mercedes-Benz,
In that gravel parkin' lot.
He fooled his wife till one night,
She saw something he couldn't explain,
An' the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.

He went from home in the suburbs,
To an apartment in town.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
To a stray dog he'd found.
He paid the price for pleasure,
Now he can't afford the pain.
Yeah, the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything;
It cost him everything;
Cost him everything

i like this quote

people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

you were here

i stood at your door tonight,
and looked at your empty bed.
i could have walked away,
but i stayed instead.
i thought i saw you there,
laying down, looking so sweet.
i smiled when i saw you smile,
and i laughed when you laughed at me.
i stood there all night long,
i didnt want to miss a thing.
your beauty makes me weak,
and your eyes make me forget the world.
for you i would do anything,
anything for my baby girl.
i touched your dimples,
the ones that drive me wild.
and i kissed your nose,
which makes me look like a little child.
i rubbed your head forever,
and i didnt stop there.
your beauty is only enhanced,
by your golden hair.
i looked into your eyes,
the ones that are so blue.
so deep, thoughtful and wise,
i love to just look at you.
and i almost cried when i blinked,
because i missed you so much.
i held your hand in mine,
and got chills when you held it tight.
i know its funny, but now its time,
to hold your hand forever...
starting tonight.
but then i woke up,
and i was standing at your door.
and i realized my worst fear,
so i walked away...
and left my puddle of tears.
