lone star hotel - guy clark lyrics

[verse]
the lone star hotel café is nothing but a
dive, and florence smith showed up there
lord every day at five, florence was a waitress
have i mentioned that before?
serving beer to strangers and to some she’d seen before
florence used to ride a little apaloosa mare
in the barrel race at the rodeo with all that beehive hair
there’s a picture of her on the wall, as you pay your check
lord, didn’t she look good back in nineteen fifty six?
i was loving florence and she was ignoring me
florence had experience, it was the first time out for me
lord, i tried to tell her, but the only words i found
were “give me greasy enchiladas and a beer to wash it down”
florence quit the lone star hotel, and never was seen again
and me, i quit west texas, and i ain’t been back since then
that was years ago, lord, too many can i recall?
but i remember florence and them pictures on the wall
so here’s to you west texas, you old rodeo queen
how i miss your beer joints and shuffle board machines
here’s to you west texas, how i miss the smell
of greasy enchiladas, at the old lone star hotel
