"Iron Bar Motel" lyrics

I left the snow in Detroit
Miami, home of mine
Tops get back on a Cadillac
Lookin' for a good time
I could see me lying on the beach
With a female in my grasp
My mind was so occupied
Was that the police that I just passed?

Now, I'm in the Iron Bar Motel
Lookin' at this crappy sunshine
This ain't the kind of relaxing
That I had in mind
Layin' here on the cold, hard steel
Thinking of the warm, soft sand
Hey, Miami, send me some of your sun
I'll get there as soon as I can

I sold my spare tyre, I posted bond
I was back on the interstate
That ol' sun in the South makes you dry in the mouth
Make out, stop off for a drink
With a heart full of love and a belly full of Scotch
I started racing a freight train
But I was soon stopped by a dedicated cop
For driving South in a northbound lane

Now, I'm in the Iron Bar Motel
Lookin' at this crappy sunshine
This ain't the kind of relaxing
That I had in mind
Layin' here on the cold, hard steel
Thinking of the warm, soft sand
Hey, Miami, send me some of your sun
I'll get there as soon as I can

Ninety days later, I hit the road
I spotted a sweet, young thing
I said, "Hop in", she said, "Hop out"
She was holding a .38
She took my car and my bottle of Scotch
And didn't even leave me a taste
That's when I found out you can hitchhike
Down in a sunshine state

Now, I'm in the Iron Bar Motel
Lookin' at this crappy sunshine
This ain't the kind of relaxing
That I had in mind
Layin' here on the cold, hard steel
Thinking of the warm, soft sand
Hey, Miami, send me some of your sun
I'll get there as soon as I can

Hey, Miami, send me some of your sun
I'll get there as soon as I can
