Diamond In the Ditch

DIAMOND IN THE DITCH

 (Verse 1)

 It’s a shame to survive all winter just to die in early spring

 It’s a shame after all we’ve been through just to toss that ring

 I was blinded by the light like a deer standing in the road

 Couldn’t see the danger in singing, Live and Die Rock ‘n Roll

 (Chorus)

 Now I’m stuck out on the highway waiting on the sun to shine

 Searching for a reason and trying to make it rhyme

 I’m burned out, beat down and used up and this song won’t make me rich

 Freedom is a hard lesson learned from a diamond in the ditch

 (Verse 2)

 I wasn’t ready to commit, I wasn’t ready to call it quits

 She’d be leaving town so I drove around ‘till I found a ring that fits

 Seven years trying to get it right, seven years I was always gone

 And I let it all fall to hell, but I did it for the song

 (Chorus)

 Now I’m stuck out on the highway waiting on the sun to shine

 Searching for a reason and trying to make it rhyme

 I’m burned out, beat down and used up and this song won’t make me rich

 Freedom is a hard lesson learned from a diamond in the ditch

 (Bridge)

 I can still hear the splash where it landed after watching it fly through the

air

 And now I’m free, but feeling stranded ‘cause I can go anywhere but there 

 (Chorus)

 I’m stuck out on the highway waiting on the sun to shine

 Searching for a reason and trying to make it rhyme

 I’m burned out beat down and used up and this song won’t make me rich

 Freedom is a hard lesson learned….

 Oh, freedom is a hard lesson learned from a diamond in the ditch
