I M JUST AN OLD CHUNK OF COAL â John Anderson
[Verse 1]
I m just an old chunk of coal,
But I m gonna be a diamond some day,
I m gonna grow and glow til I m so blue pure and perfect,
I m gonna put a smile on ev rybody s face.
[Verse 2]
I m gonna kneel and pray ev ry day,
Lest I should become vain along the way.
I m just and old chunk of coal now Lord,
But I m gonna be a diamond some day.
Guitar Solo over 1st half of verse
[Verse 3]
I m gonna learn the best words to talk,
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 ev ry single flaw.
[Verse 4]
Well I m gonna be the world s best friend,
Gonna go round shakin ev rybody s hand.
Oh, I m gonna be the cotton-pickin rage of the age,
I m gonna be a diamond some day.
