[Verse 1]
E A
Out on Route 66, way back to the sticks
E B7
Out on the old Chisolm trail
E A
Just east of El Reno next to Ted's Escondido
E B7 E
Sat the old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Verse 2]
E A
Lucille and Madonna slinging cheese enchiladas
E B7
Chain smoking non-filtered Pall Malls
E A
Old men shooting pool and cursing like fools
E B7 E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
A B7
The Queen of the old mother road
A E A
There's color TV and the kids eat for free
E B7 E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Break]
E A E B7 E
[Verse 3]
E A
There's air streams and truckers and two timing lovers
E B7
Teenagers out raising hell

There's cowboys and shriners and old five and dimers
E B7 E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Verse 4]
E A
Room 23 was the first time for me
E B7
A stripper named Rita Cantrell

I spent all of my money on that sweet Spanish honey
E B7 E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
A B7
The Queen of the old mother road

There's color TV and the kids eat for free

At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

[Verse 5]
E A
Oh the sign said we doze, but we never do close
E B7
I remember her red dress so well
E A
Old Rita's passed on, the neon sign's gone
E B7 E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Verse 6]
E A
There's a big wrecking ball, Just tore down the wall,
E B7
A piece of America fell
E A
Now I'm all for progress, but God knows that I miss
E B7 E
The old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
A B7
The Queen of the old mother road
A E A
There's color TV and the kids eat for free
E B7 E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
A B7
The Queen of the old mother road
A E A
There's color TV and the kids eat for free
E B7 E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
