Discover the story of the song > Motel Blues – Alvin Lee

The protagonist has spent their whole life traveling, but they feel like they're reaching the end of their journey. They don't have anywhere else to go or anything left to do, and every day and show feels the same. They don't want to die in a lonely motel, but they also don't want to keep going. The songwriter is expressing their feelings of exhaustion and the desire for something more meaningful.
