Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Just poking a little fun at Alaska's best heard (if not best seen) citizens. Tom's voice-overs on those Motel 6 commercials have overshadowed his great talent as a writer.

Lyrics

Chorus:
I’m livin’ in a Motel 6
Just as lonely as a man can get
Cause my wife is leavin’ the light on
For a guy named Tom Bodett

Verse 1:
The trim is peach, the door is what
Can only be called sea green
I have to admit, I’m not crazy
About their color scheme
But the price is right 
And they know my name
So I guess here’s where I’ll stay
Since that guy from Homer, Alaska
Lives in my house across the bay

Verse 2:
The shower is sort of circular
With a curtain that doesn’t work
And the towels are just about as thin
As the fabric of my shirt
But the price is right
And they know my name 
And there’s cable on a color TV
But when the voice of that guy from Homer comes on
A little light dies inside of me

Verse 3:
If there’s any justice in this world
If karma is what it’s made out to be
Tom will lose his lucrative voice overs
And he’ll have to change places with me
The price is right
And they’ll know his name
And he can have the room I’m in
So that guy from Homer, Alaska
Can have the motel light left on for him
