Diamond
He was stuck at the gates to the city
That’s where the rogue and the innocent meet
Carries the cold of his hometown’s leaving
But wore the heat of the road ‘neath his feet
He said he’d come to seek his fortune
Just like some old-time pioneer
Wanted to wash his clothes in the ocean
Shake off the dust of a hundred years
And though his shoes were wearing through
And his hat was full of holes
He knows that out there somewhere
There’s a diamond
There’s a diamond
There’s a diamond
In the coals
And well he carved his own road to salvation
And there’s no praying, no bleeding, no test
And now there’s never been a town that’s not worth leaving
Because heaven doesn’t have an address
And now he’s found his own religion
Talking to God for a corduroy jerkin
And made a beat-up box guitar
And though his shoes were wearing through
And his hat was full of holes
He knows that out there somewhere
There’s a diamond
There’s a diamond
There’s a diamond
In the coals
He’s on the edge of what he’s looking for
Cause he believes there’s always one more road to explore
Like I do, yeah I do
There’s a diamond (to fade)
