Paul Carrack Lyrics

"I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be A Diamond Some Day)"
(originally by Billy Joe Shaver)

I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw

I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go 'round shakin' ev'rybody's hand
I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Now I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Oh, I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
