Lyrics Old Chunk Of Coal - Aaron Watson

Well I'm just an old chunk of coal now oh, Lord

Well I'm just an old chunk of coal (oh, is that so?)
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day (yes yes)
Yeah, I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face (from ear to ear)

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day (every day)
Lest I should become vain along the way (along the way)
Well, I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day (oh, shine that big, sunny boy)

That's right
Oh, cast the ball
Steal guitar
Oh, turn it around boy

I'll learn the right words to talk (reach home, reach home)
I'm gonna search and find a better way to walk (straight and narrow)
I'm gon' spit and polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of every single flaw (oh, that's right)

Yes, I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go around shakin' everybody's hand (how do you do?)
Well, I'm just an old chunk of coal now, Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday (oh, round two)

Oh get it
Sure Ray
All together boys

Yes, I'll be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
Oh now, well, I'm just an old chunk of coal now, Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday (oh, one more time)

Yes, I'm gonna be a diamond someday
Yeah!
