Lone Star Hotel

    A                       D             A
The Lone Star Hotel Cafe is nothing but a dive,
    D                     A                           E
and Florence Smith showed up there Lord, every day at five
A
Florence was a waitress
       D
Have I mentioned that before?
                A                E          A
Serving beer to strangers and to some she'd seen before

D                              G  Bm    D
Florence used to ride a little Apaloosa mare
                                              A
In the barrel race at the rodeo, she had that beehive hair
D                                     G               D
There's a picture of her on the wall, as you pay your check
G                     D            A              D
Lord, didn't she look good back in nineteen fifty six?

A     E      A            D                A
I was loving Florence and she was ignoring me
D              A                                       E
Florence had experience, it was the first time out for me
A                                  D            A
Lord, I tried to tell her, but the only words I found
              D            A          E       A
Were "Give me greasy enchiladas and a beer to wash it down"

D                                      G         Bm    D
Florence quit the Lone Star Hotel, and never was seen again
                                                       A
And me, I quit west Texas, and I ain't been back since then
D        A      D             G    Bm   D
That was years ago, Lord, too many to recall?
    G          D                 A        Bm     D
But I remember Florence and them pictures on the wall

A                            D             A
So here's to you west Texas, you old rodeo queen
D               A                                    E
How I miss your beer joints and shuffle board machines
A                         D              A
Here's to you west Texas, how I miss the smell
   D           A             E        A
Of greasy enchiladas, at the old Lone Star Hotel
