Johnny Cash - Old Chunk of Coal lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Old Chunk of Coal lyrics]
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow
'Til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
But I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna learn the right way to talk
I'm gonna search and find a
Better way to walk
I'm gonna spit and polish
My old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of every single flaw
I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go around
Shaking everybody's hand
I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin'
Rage of the Age
Yes I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I said I'm just an old
Chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
