Diamonds in the Asphalt Lyrics

Diamonds in the Asphalt - Truckstop Honeymoon
Email: dhalstead@pacifichydro.com.au
I gave you a band of silver
There was no diamond ring
Said: "Baby where we're going
got no use for such things"
You will find all the gems
that you could want right here
On the interstates and highways
80,000 miles a year.
There are diamonds in the asphalt
Ain't that what they say
Ain't that why the blacktop
Glitters in that way
There's many a fool's follow it
to the ends of their days
It's not their fault
Blame it on false promises
And the diamonds in the asphalt
You were always searchin'
for some treasure you don't find
I have followed you this far
But, I don't mind
May - be - sometimes
we must carry a heavy load
we get richer with every mile
that we drive along this road (CHORUS)
(SOLO) - same chords as Chorus
We have come so far
Still we have so far to go
I hope to God, that someone
Will be coming to this show
And the babies are cryin'
And I feel like cryin' too
But it's too late to turn back now
Even if we wanted too (CHORUS)
OUTTRO
Yeah blame it on false promises
and the diamonds in the asphalt
