Arkansas Diamond

Call her up in the middle of the morning

5:00 on the dot without a warning

Pouring my heart out into the phone

Half awake and barely asleep

Hours spent listening to her dreams

'Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at home

Well, it's a blessing just to know her name

Sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame

And it's a wonder if she'll ever think twice

On a wretch like me, wouldn't that be nice?

Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds

Dreams bigger than a Texan's horizon

Lord knows a poor man like me

Would do anything 'cause

Your love is what I'm pining

Cut nice, polished and shining

A gem like you is hard findings

So I'll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

She lives her life wild and free

Doesn't know what she means to me

Doesn't have a single clue in the world

But she'll always have my heart

No matter where we are

It'll always belong to you, girl

And it's a blessing just to know her touch

Her sweet southern drawl'll make you fall in love

And this lady that I hold so dear

Well, I'd be nothing without her here

Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds

Dreams bigger than a Texan's horizon

Lord knows a poor man like me

Would do anything 'cause

Your love is what I'm pining

Cut nice, polished and shining

A gem like you is hard findings

So I'll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

Keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
