Starlight Hotel

Starlight Hotel
A visit with Jesse, a homeless man.

I love my freedom, peace, and the quiet too.
A Starlight Hotel window gives a nice view.
Far in the distance, trains rumble on the rail
I don't need a watch, its schedule never fails. 

I heard a dog howl close to my hotel room. 
When gravel cracks, they are coming soon.
Sleeping with the stars, named for mother,
Along with my daughter and loving father.

Starting in the fast lane, lookin' for romance
I do deserve to have one more loving chance.
I grew up faster as I learned my selfish ways
The Starlight Hotel is the best place to pray.
