Vince Gill
[Intro] [Verse 1] Out on Route 66 way back to the sticks Out on the old Chisolm trail Just east of El Reno next to Ted’s Escondido Sat the old Lucky Diamond Motel [Verse 2] 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 [Break] [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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] 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 [Break] [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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] 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 [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 [Outro]
