"Arkansas Diamond" lyrics

Call her up in the middle of the morning
5 o'clock 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
