Billy Joe Shaver - Live At Billy Bob's Texas (Deluxe Edition)

Old Chunk of Coal (Live)

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,
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face.

I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry 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 best way to walk,
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self,
'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw.

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

Now I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord,
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day,
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect,
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face.

I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day,
Lest I should become vain along the way.
Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord,
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day.
