She was just a country girl, quietly livin' life
Never thought of givin' away her love
She looked at me through willing eyes
As if I understood
If she could have her way with me, she would
She was a diamond in the dust, shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust to call my own
She was the rose beside the thorn
Waiting to be borne by the man who found the diamond in the dust
Now we're a band of gold inscribed inside for me
And our love is getting stronger every day
Sometimes it's almost like a dream I could love like this
Then she wakes me with another kiss
She was a diamond in the dust, shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust to call my own
She was the rose beside the thorn
Waiting to be borne by the man who found the diamond in the dust
She was a diamond in the dust, shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust to call my own
She was the rose beside the thorn
Waiting to be borne by the man who found the diamond in the dust
She was a diamond in the dust, shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust to call my own
She was the rose beside the thorn
Waiting to be borne by the man who found the diamond in the dust
