Diamond lyrics

he`s been playing these small town bars forever and a day
it ain`t no nine to five livin` but it keeps the bills paid
his love for what he does keeps him going
living for the people at his shows
but he knows he isn`t never gettin` nowhere
playing the same old honky tonks and rodeos
he`s got some money saved, fixed up that old truck
he`s gonna hit the highway, nashville`s his next stop

he`s gonna see his name up in neon lights
shining like a star up on stage, all dressed in white
sold out shows in every town, just to hear him sing
he`s gonna see his face in every magazine,
billboards, t.v.`s, videos and silver screens
he`s a diamond in the rough, just waiting to shine

he got a break to play one night to play
down at the bluebird cafe, when a man walked right
after the show and said `son, you got what it takes`
he said son i`d like to make you a big star, bigger than all the rest
they`ll know your name all the way from tokyo to rio
from left coast to key west
now he`s got almost eighty million recods sold
signing autographs everywhere he goes

now he sees his name up in neon lights
shining like a star up on stage, all dressed in white
selling out shows in every town, just to hear him sing
now he sees his fave in every magazine,
billboards, t.v.`s, videos and silver screen
now that diamond in the rough, is a diamond that shines
lord he shines
oh your gonna watch him,oh your gonna watch him shine
from houston, dallas, santa fe, nahsville usa, nashville usa
