Diamonds in the Asphalt - Truckstop Honeymoon
Verse 1
I gave you a band of silver
There was no diamond ring
Said: "Baby where we're going
got no use for such things"
You will find all the gems
that you could want right here
On the interstates and highways
80,000 miles a year.
CHORUS
There are diamonds in the asphalt
Ain't that what they say
Ain't that why the blacktop
Glitters in that way
There's many a fool's follow it
to the ends of their days
It's not their fault
Blame it on false promises
And the diamonds in the asphalt
Verse 2
You were always searchin'
for some treasure you don't find
I have followed you this far
But, I don't mind
May - be - sometimes
we must carry a heavy load
we get richer with every mile
that we drive along this road [CHORUS]
[SOLO] - same chords as Chorus
Verse 3
We have come so far
Still we have so far to go
I hope to God, that someone
Will be coming to this show
And the babies are cryin'
And I feel like cryin' too
But it's too late to turn back now
Even if we wanted too [CHORUS]
OUTTRO
Yeah blame it on false promises
and the diamonds in the asphalt
