Don Williams - Cracker Jack Diamond lyrics

Well he spent that summer walkin' door to door With a can of gas and an ol' lawn mower That's a sure fire way to make a buck when you're fourteen Well he walked the block with no luck at all Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall With a young girl sitting on the front porch eating' ice cream Deep in the pocket of his gra** stained jeans Was some caramel corn and a plastic ring Leftover from the week before Momma didn't wash them thank the lord [Chorus:] Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack Diamond Well it's been five years since he gave her his prize Now the sparkle's gone, but not in their eyes And he's wanting to tell her what's been on his mind lately He said, girl I ain't rich but I've been saving up A little ever day 'til I had enough Before he could finished she said, you know I will baby Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring He took her back to that old front porch Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord [Chorus:] Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack Diamond once a year she takes it out but it don't fit her hand she wears it in her heart that's where it all began [Chorus:] Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond, You never know when your gonna find one They found love from that day on The hand of fate put them together, Their hearts will stay forever young Like a Cracker Jack Diamond...
