Dust & Diamonds

[Intro] I like my shine with a little dust A little gold and a little rust [Verse 1] I’ve worn silk in a downtown bar Old blue jeans under an open sky Champagne cold in a crystal glass Cold beer sweating in the grass I know the price of looking fine But I know what money can’t buy You can put a sparkle on my hand But you can’t tell me who I am [Pre-Chorus] I can turn a head I can hold my ground Know when to stay Know when to leave town [Chorus] Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds Little bit of shine, little bit of fire Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds Rough-cut heart with a polished smile I can dress it up, I can let it ride Still got that red dirt deep inside Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds That’s my kind of beautiful [Verse 2] I don’t mind a five-star room But give me a porch and a Sunday noon I can wear those heels all night Kick ’em off when the gravel feels right I’ve made mistakes, I’ve paid my dues Kept the stories, lost the excuses Every scar and every line Every one of them is mine [Pre-Chorus] I can take the heat I can take the rain Lose it all tomorrow Start again [Chorus] Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds Little bit of shine, little bit of fire Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds Rough-cut heart with a polished smile I can dress it up, I can let it ride Still got that red dirt deep inside Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds That’s my kind of beautiful [Bridge] Some things fade when the years roll through Some things hold because they’re true I don’t need flawless, I don’t need new Just something real I can hold on to [Instrumental – Tasteful electric guitar and pedal steel] [Final Chorus] Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds Little bit of shine, little bit of fire Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds Rough-cut heart with a polished smile I can dress it up, I can let it ride Still got that red dirt deep inside Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds That’s my kind of beautiful Dust and diamonds, dust and diamonds That’s my kind of beautiful [Outro] I like my shine with a little dust A little gold and a little rust And that’s enough
