"Diamond Motel" lyrics
"Diamond Motel"
I'm staying at the air conditioned Diamond Motel
Drinking too much, feeling pretty swell
Right off highway 86 the road to Mexicali
Motorhomes cut through the Imperial Valley
There's a pink neon sign glowing like a jewel
Santa Ana wind blew the "D" into the pool
I laugh at everything 'cause reality is cruel
If you take it all so serious you feel just like a fool
It sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one will ever find you, you're safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream?
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Lies the diamond motel
It's a hundred twenty-two at 4:30 today
All a boy can do is hunker down in the shade
But the nights out here are magic and the sky is full of stars
As clear as the tequila here at Las Flores Bar
And it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one ever finds you, you'll be safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream?
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Lies the diamond motel
Hey we're eating a Teresa's where the campesinos go
We speak a little Spanish, just enough to know
And it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one will ever find you, you'll be safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
But some days I just can't tell
I'm somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
'Cause it sparkles like a diamond in the desert sun
No one will ever find me, I'll safe from everyone
The say one man's heaven is another man's hell
What is real and what's a dream?
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
Somewhere in between (somewhere in between)
At the Diamond Motel
That's right, pour me another one

Brandy Clark - "Who You Thought I Was" I used to wanna be a cowboy
A shadow in a sunset
That's why I started smokin' cigarettes
I used to wanna be a cowboy
I used to wanna be Elvis
Drive a pink Cadillac car
That's why I learned to play...
Thompson Square - "I Got You" A car's got gasoline to run, down the road
A crop's got rain, dirt and sun, to make 'em grow
A song's got rhyme, a clock's got time
You got me and baby I got you
Yea you're it, the missing piece...
Frankie Ballard - "Tell Me You Get Lonely" I bet you're kicking yourself for letting me walk away
Making yourself a list of the things you wish you didn't say
Sitting by the phone hoping it's gonna ring
Tell me you get lonely when it's cold...
Gloriana - "Wild At Heart" Down a back road
Long, hot summer
A couple kids runnin' loose and wild
He kissed her
She said mister,
Take an inch and I'll give you a mile
I ain't here to do anything half-way
Don't give a damn...
Steve Moakler - "Love Drunk" I like to throw 'em back slow, a few in a row
'Til I get on a roll with you, honey
You always know what I like, same thing every time
I don't have to spend my money
Girl, you got me sideways, keep...
