Billy Joe Shaver - The Essential Billy Joe Shaver

I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)

I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gon' be a diamond someday
And I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
Gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gon' kneel and pray every 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 gon' learn the best words to talk
Gonna search and find a better way to walk
Yeah, I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self
'Til I get rid of every single flaw

Well, I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go 'round shaking everybody's hand, yeah
Well, I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Oh, I'm gonna be the cotton picking rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond someday
