"Waiting To Shine" lyrics

I've been up and down this highway
I don't have a single thing to show
Except these words that I'm singing
Will I [?] by the side of the road
Somewhere [?] I think
Somebody left them behind
Well finders keepers
And I'll take all the keepers I can find

The [?] were like diamonds
But these ones were the hardest to find
Buried in the bottom of the
Just waiting to shine

When I got home this evening
I was worried about [?] thing she might say
Saying I've left her alone lately
Driving on to another place to place
She just whispered in my ears
Exactly what I needed to hear [?]
So let tomorrow be tomorrow
'Cause I know, everything's gonna be alright

The [?] were like diamonds
But these ones were the hardest to find
Buried in the bottom of the [?]
Just waiting to shine

235
Well I've got friends, and I've got heroes
And you know how to love the more
Just the same
And I don't think I've ever told 'em
All the things I need to say
Maybe one day, I'll know the words that I'm trying to find
For now I'm gonna keep on searching
Digging deeper down this ol' coal mine

The [?] were like diamonds
But these ones were the hardest to find
Buried in the bottom of the [?]
Just waiting to shine
Buried in the bottom of the [?]
Just waiting to shine
