Check Out Time Lyrics

When I woke up this morning
I was all alone
Stretched out in bed
Two hundred miles from home

In some old motel
I don't know
What's to become of me
I know the check out time is three

I didn't mean to hurt him
He has so much pride
I never dreamed
I have to run and hide

To this lonely route
I just hope
He doesn't follow me
I know the check out time is three

There's just no use
Why try to make an excuse?
I must pray blues because to be his wife
Well, that would be just giving up on life

I've got to go on living
I just can exist
I wanna taste all of the feelings
I've missed for example, love

Till the day
Love catches up with me
As always
Check out dot at three

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
