HEADER

you saved your paychecks for two months
and paid the bills you owed
the map pockets in your pickup
full of heavy little roads
the devil's in the details
the devil's at your door
you're a hopeless diamond
you may as well be coal

cross your heart and hope it flies        
away from all these naked eyes    
you're searching with your money
for the things that love can't buy
the devil's gone to bloomingdale's
to cast himself in gold
you're a hopeless diamond
you may as well be coal

hopeless diamond you shine
sometimes the fateless find their way
your gonna fall back home someday
but you've got time so just sit back enjoy the ride

you argue every notion
on the whole and bit by bit
you never could keep quiet
when you speak it sounds like spit
your hand's come off the guardrail
your feet are off the floor
you're a hopeless diamond
you may as well be coal

you drove around montana
looking for a place to park
your headlights burned out days ago
now your windshield's dark
so when you hit the ditch
who else will be inside your car?
you're a hopeless diamond
