Diamond Boat

Got my ear down to the ground
And my eyes set on the prize
I never reach it though and oh, oh
Then I forget that I was trying

I've been sitting up at night
Just to be sure the sun will rise
Yeah and it always shows but oh, oh
It never brings no peace of mind

But it brings to mind
This worn out line
From a long, long time ago
A diamond boat will seldom float
But it's guaranteed to leave you broke

Yeah it brings to mind
This worn out line
From a long, long time ago
A diamond boat will seldom float
But it's guaranteed to leave you broke

Pretty soon I'm bound to quit
Rend my clothes and tape my eyes
Yeah and so it'd go but oh, oh
I'd still hear my naked sigh

You see a man must know his strengths
Just take his weaknesses in stride
Live content with both and know
Better than diamond boats and pride

Man I'm sitting up at night
Just to be sure the sun will rise
