John Anderson - I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be A Diamond So Lyrics

Artist: John Anderson

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: Billy Joe Shaver

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

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
At last 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
Till I get rid of every single flaw

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

And now I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue, pure, perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
At last 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
