Billy Joe Shaver - Tramp On Your Street

Old Chunk of Coal

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 perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna 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 gonna learn the right words to talk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to walk
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 shakin' everybody's hand, yeah
I'm just an ol' chunk of coal, now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Yeah I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
