Joe Purdy - Diamond State lyrics
Take me back those summer days Winters making my old bones ache Ill return when the weathers changed Ill see you in the Diamond State again Well I got religion and the old north wind All the colours came, the colours went I swore to get right with my family and friends Gave my bottle to the preacher, start over again, singing Take me back those summer days Winters making my old bones ache Ill return when the weathers changed Ill see you in the Diamond State again Well hell hath no fury like a woman scorned She took all the whiskey and all the corn She set fire to my house, and took off in a storm Even after shes gone shes still keeping me warm Take me back those summer days Winters making my old bones ache Ill return when the weathers changed Ill see you in the Diamond State again Well the roof caved in and the house came down Theres a hole in my tent, and one in the ground And the places Ive been ain't the place I am now So watch where you're stepping, Ill see you around Take me back those summer days Winters making my old bones ache Ill return when the weathers changed Ill see you in the Diamond State Oh take me back those summer days This winters making my old bones ache And Ill return when the weathers changed I will see you in the Diamond State my friends Im going California, gonna pan for gold Because a diamond in the rough ain't a diamond in the snow Im gonna empty all my pockets and admit that Im old Take my coat to the corner and hope it gets sold Take me back those summer days Winters making my old bones shake Ill return when the weathers changed Ill see you in the Diamond State again Ill see you in the Diamond State Ill see you in the Diamond State I will see you in the Diamond State I will see you in the Diamond State My friends Oh my good friends
