Billy Joe Shaver - Live Forever: A Tribute To Billy Joe Shaver

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

Hey, 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, pure perfect
And 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, oh, Lord
And I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna learn the very best way to walk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
And I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of every single flaw

I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go 'round shakin' everybody's hand
Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age
And I'm gonna be a diamond some day, alright

Now, I'm just an old chunk of coal
Ooh, I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue, pure perfect
I wanna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray, every day
Lest I should become vain along the way
Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal, oh, Lord
And I'm gonna be a diamond some day

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