Waiting to Shine
I've been up and down this highway and I don't have a single thing to show
Except these words that I'm singing, I found them by the side of the road
Somewhere in Amarillo I think somebody left them behind
Well finders are keepers and I'll take all the keepers I can find
Words are like diamonds the best ones are the hardest to find
Buried in the bottom of the coal just waiting to shine
When I got home this evening I was worried about the things she might say
See I've left her alone lately driving on to another place to play
But she just whispered in my ear exactly what I needed to hear tonight
So let tomorrow be tomorrow because I know everything's gonna be alright
Words are like diamonds the best ones are the hardest to find
Buried in the bottom of the coal just waiting to shine
I've got friends and I've got heroes and you know I love them all just the
same
But I don't think I've ever told them exactly what I need to say
Maybe one day I'll know the words that I'm trying to find
But for now I'll keep on searching digging deeper down this old coal mine
Words are like diamonds the best ones are the hardest to find
Buried in the bottom of the coal just waiting to shine
