(Verse 1) The neon sign is buzzing, flickering in red. Got a bible in the drawer and a stained and empty bed. It’s Christmas Eve in nowhere, miles from anywhere. Just me and a bottle, and a silent, frozen prayer. (Chorus) Welcome to Motel 6 Bethlehem. No wise men at the door. Just the sound of passing trucks, shaking up the floor. No star above the manger, just a streetlight turning dim. Celebrating Jesus... with a glass of Jim Beam. (Verse 2) Called my ex in Houston, but she didn't pick up the phone. Guess some sins are heavy enough, you carry them alone. The maid left me a towel, shaped like a little swan. By the time the sun comes up, I’ll be long gone. (Outro) Merry Christmas to the drifters. Merry Christmas to the lost. (Slow final chord)
