Capo 1
Bm
I'm just four walls with a little paint, a picture here or there
G
I got a Bible in my dresser, just in case somebody cares
Bm
I've been here forever, 1959
G
My name is on the front door, they call me 205
Bm
And man you can't imagine, the things that happen here
G
I've seen my share of laughing and I've seen a lot of tears
Bm
Drug deals and last meals and love that seemed so real
G
Until I saw the flash of those hundred dollar bills
A
But let me tell you something crazy, that I'd never seen before
G
Starts with Johnny and Katie, first time they walked through my door
Chorus 1:
Bm
It was a Friday night, late fall
G A
After a high school football game
Bm
They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet
Bm
Yeah they made love for the first time
G A
Till that Carolina sun came up
G
That's where it all began
A Bm
At the Conway Motor Inn
Bm
Well they lit a cigarette, and talked about their lives
G
Said they were getting married, after graduation night
Bm
It all seemed so perfect, but they didn't have a clue
G
That one be one of them would be right back here with someone new
Bm
Now fast forward four years, and that white picket fence
G
It ain't holding out what it should be keeping in
A
See, I see Katie on the weekends, when Johnny's working nights
G
And the man she's coming here with, ain't the man I recognize

Chorus 2:
Bm
It was a Friday night, late fall
G A
After a high school football game
Bm
They snuck away, in her lover's Escalade
Yeah they made love for the first time
G A
Till Johnny's graveyard shift was up
G
Both livin' in sin
A Bm
At the Conway Motor Inn
Bridge:
Bm
Tonight Johnny ain't working, cause he's right here with me
G
With a pistol in his right hand, just waitin' on the key
Bm
To turn in my door, and when they both walk in
G
He lays that hammer down, and that's where this story ends
Chorus 3:
Bm
It was a Friday night, late fall
G A
After a high school football game
Bm
They snuck away, in a beat up Chevrolet
Yeah they made love for the first time
G A
Till that Carolina sun came up
G
That's where it all began
And that's where it all ends
A Bm
At the Conway Motor Inn
At the Conway Motor Inn
