The Old Lucky Diamond Motel

Out on Route 66, way back in the sticks Out on the old Chisolm trail Just east of El Reno next to Ted's Escondido Sat the old Lucky Diamond Motel Lucille and Madonna slinging cheese enchiladas Chain smoking non-filtered Pall Malls Old men shooting pool and cursing like fools At the old Lucky Diamond Motel [Chorus] Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel The Queen of the old mother road There's color TV and the kids eat for free At the old Lucky Diamond Motel There's air streams and truckers and two timing lovers Teenagers out raising hell There's cowboys and Shriners and old five and dimers At the old Lucky Diamond Motel Room 23 was the first time for me A stripper named Rita Cantrell I spent all of my money on that sweet Spanish honey At the old Lucky Diamond Motel [Chorus] Oh the sign said, we doze but we never do close I remember her red dress so well Old Rita's passed on, the neon sign's gone At the old Lucky Diamond Motel There's a big wrecking ball Just tore down the wall, a piece of America fell Now I'm all for progress, but God knows that I miss The old Lucky Diamond Motel [Chorus x2] --- The Old Lucky Diamond Motel - Vince Gill
