on a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair warm smell of colitas rising up through the air up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light my head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night there she stood in the doorway heard the mission bell and I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way there were voices down the corridor i thought i heard them say welcome to the hotel california such a lovely place such a lovely place (background) such a lovely face plenty of room at the hotel california any time of year any time of year you can find it here you can find it here……
