Waiting To Shine

I've been up and down this highway and I don't have a single thing to show

Except these words that I'm singing, I found them by the side of the road

Somewhere in Amarillo I think somebody left them behind

Well finders are keepers and I'll take all the keepers I can find

Chorus:

Words are like diamonds

The best ones are the hardest to find

Buried in the bottom of the coal

Just waiting to shine

When I got home this evening I was worried about things she might say

See I've left her alone lately driving on to another place to play

But she just whispered in my ear exactly what I needed to hear tonight

So let tomorrow be tomorrow because I know everything's gonna be alright

(Chorus)

I've got friends and I've got heroes and you know I love them all just the same

But I don't think I've ever told them all the things I need to say

Maybe one day I'll know the words that I'm trying to find

But for now I'll keep on searching, digging deeper down this old coal mine

(Chorus)
