Verse 1:
G+G           C majorC
Roadside Motor Court
        G+G      C majorC
Cabins Made of Sandstone
      G+G               C majorC
And to the travellers of the mother road
           G+G       C majorC
She was a port in the storm
       G+G          C majorC
Now if those walls could talk
             G+G      C majorC
Oh, the stories the could tell son
     G+G          C majorC
And that roadside motor court
            G+G     C majorC
It'd keep you safe and warm

Chorus:
      D MajorD
Now there's holes in the roof
      C majorC
And there's weeds at the door
   D MajorD
That motor court's still there,
        C majorC          G+G    C majorC
but that don't see no travellers no more

Verse 2:
G+G              C majorC
Guess who used to grow cotton
             G+G     C majorC
on these tired old farms
      G+G
Yeah they'd load the wagons time and time again
C majorC          G+G     C majorC
With their weary old arms
    G+G             C majorC
They'd make a little money at the gin
              G+G      C majorC
Pay a little credit at the store
      G+G              C majorC
Yeah they scratched and the worked the land
         G+G      C majorC
Till the dirt got poor

Chorus:
     D MajorD              C majorC
Now that cotton gin is some kind of second hand store
      D MajorD
Yeah the building's there,
        C majorC
But they don't gin no cotton no more

Verse 3:
     G+G          C majorC
Yeah they used to go dancing
           G+G    C majorC
Down at the Log Cabin Bar
        G+G           C majorC
Yeah they'd be laughing, carrying on
             G+G      C majorC
Make a little love in the car
      G+G         C majorC
And they'd spread that sawdust down
       G+G      C majorC
On a concrete floor
    G+G         C majorC
They'd dance all night
            G+G     C majorC
Until they're feet got sore

Chorus:
   D MajorD
Till one Sunday Morning
       C majorC
They had the law burn her down
D MajorD                  C majorC
Now there aint no place for us to go Dancin
         G+G
In this one horse town
         C majorC       G+G    C majorC
Yeah, we used to dance in this town
