	Story Behind the Song The "Chablis" is a real motel, off the freeway in northern California, and the owner is from Alabama. I wrote this song one afternoon in a Methodist church in Petaluma, CA. It’s a transitional song, written about leaving one thing for something better. It’s a song about the past, hope, love, pain and the ocean. Lyrics 1 Nobody told me when I left home That the days would be too bright and the nights too cold I find myself in a midnight zone Then I hear somebody yell, "It's time to go" 2 Back in the days that I loved the most I'd drive up north along the rocky coast It was high-heeled boots, perfume and buttered toast Now I'm living my life on graveyard memories So I'm leaving the Motel Chablis Chorus I'm leaving the Motel Chablis I gotta leave the past behind To see in front of me I'm leaving the Motel Chablis I opened up my eyes And the futures all I see 3 We ran down streets with glasses of champagne Now everyday I wish that it would rain I'm so god damn sick and tired of all this pain And there's not much left that I can believe That's why I'm leaving the Motel Chablis Chorus C Section These rooms are growing colder Now that I am getting older And it seems I've lost my passion And my style is out of fashion And I don’t wanna be alone I don’t wanna be alone I don’t wanna be alone I don’t wanna be Alone Solo 4 - repeat verse 2 Back in the days that I loved the most I'd drive up north along the rocky coast It was high-heeled boots, perfume and buttered toast Now I'm living my life on graveyard memories So I'm leaving the Motel Chablis Chorus Refrain 2 I gotta leave the past behind (x3)
