Incredibly scarce, handwritten partial lyrics for ‘Wrong Side of the Road,’ which appeared on the 1978 Blue Valentine album, penned on two off-white 8.5 x 11 sheets of Tropicana Motor Hotel letterhead. Waits pens the partial lyrics in blue ballpoint, making various edits in black ballpoint. In very good condition, with two trivial corner bends, scattered toning, and some light rubbing and foxing. The Tropicana Motor Hotel served as a residential home-base for such rock icons as Jim Morrison and Chuck E. Weiss, and provided temporary stays for a slew of other legends, including Janis Joplin, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Guns N’ Roses, and Frank Zappa.
