| Oh, I wish it would rain
|
| And wash my face clean
|
| I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
|
| Love in a memory
|
| Sparkled like diamonds
|
| When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
|
| Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
|
| Who only cared for me
|
| I wanna find that love of twenty-two
|
| Here at thirty-three
|
| I’ve got a heart on my right
|
| One on my left neither suits my needs
|
| No, the one I love lives a-way out West
|
| And he never will need me
|
| I’m gonna pack up my two step shoes
|
| And head for the Gulf Coast plains
|
| I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
|
| Where everybody knows my name
|
| I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston
|
| When the hurricane blow in
|
| 'cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
|
| When your heart’s rollin' home in the wind
|
| When the diamonds fall, darlin'
|
| They burn like tears |
