The Old Lucky Diamond Motel (Album Version)

The Old Lucky Diamond Motel - Vince Gill (文斯·基爾)

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

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

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

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

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

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
