Country music group Old Dominion brought the motel vibes, glowing neon signs and all, to the 2018 CMA Awards with their summer smash hit “Hotel Key.” Later in the program, they won the ‘Vocal Group of the Year’ honor!
“Hotel Key” Lyrics
Well it was down some street we couldn’t even pronounce
We were smoking a little from a half an ounce
Tequila was cheap but the flow we were feeling was real
Neither one of us looking for three little words
Unless those three words was do not disturb
Checkout was s’posed to be noon but we slept in ’til three
She kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves and the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can’t open the door no more
She kept the hotel key
Well I could still see her on the bed sitting Indian style
With my t-shirt on and a half drunk smile
She talked about Austin and how she’d get back there someday
We had the curtains wide open and a song on my phone
And danced by the TV we never turned on
And wondered if anyone’d miss us if we went away
But this isn’t one of those stories that ends up that way
She kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves and the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can’t open the door no more
She kept the hotel key
Yeah
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
We left the lights
We left the crowd
We left the world and locked it out
She left a picture in my head
She left the night I can’t forget, but
She kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves and the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can’t open the door no more
She kept the hotel key
Yeah she kept the
She kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves and the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can’t open the door no more
She kept the hotel key
Yeah she kept it
She kept the hotel key
Oh
She kept the hotel key
