A ballad, the song is credited to singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards (Richard at the time). It is a significant song as it is one of the few which feature both members sharing lead vocals.This is reflected in the songs lyrics where Jagger describes having to leave for Baton Rouge, where the Stones played two warm up shows at Louisiana State University, and where he describes subsequent experiences on the road. The song itself runs over seven minutes, one of the longest songs by the Rolling Stones. Jagger began writing the song before beginning the Stones Tour of the Americas 75 while staying with Richards at Andy Warhols house in Montauk, and finished it while on tour. The title comes from an actual motel in Montauk, on Long Island. youtu.be/DXemEW-zql0
