"Six Strings & Diamond Rings" lyrics

This town has a long, lonely list
Of good hearts and tortured relationships
Guitar women and men like me
Married to the music and the songs they sing

Chasing a dream down the interstate
Never given a thought to the price I've paid
Don't know why, but now I believe
Goodbye was invented in Tennessee

The highway ain't home for nothing, but a heartache
It just gets lonely and it still takes, everything and more
Love is just a song we sing
'Cause six strings are hard on diamond rings

Sometimes I dream of a picket fence
A fridge covered with pictures and a yard full of kids
A woman who meant it, when she said, "I do"
Then I wake up in a hotel room

The highway ain't home for nothing, but a heartache
It just gets lonely and it still takes, everything and more
Love is just a song I sing
'Cause six strings are hard on diamond rings

The highway ain't home for nothing, but a heartache
It just gets lonely and it still takes, everything and more
In my life now, a flame gets started but it burns out
And the lights of the night of a new crowd
It's what I'm living for
Love is just a song I sing
'Cause six strings are hard on diamond rings

Yeah, love ain't nothing but a song I sing
'Cause six strings are hard on diamond rings
