Diamond State

Take me back those summer days

Winter’s making my old bones ache

Ill return when the weathers changed

Ill see you in the Diamond State again

Well I got religion and the old north wind

All the colours came, the colours went

I swore to get right with my family and friends

Gave my bottle to the preacher, start over again, singing

Take me back those summer days

Winters making my old bones ache

Ill return when the weathers changed

Ill see you in the Diamond State again

Well hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

She took all the whiskey and all the corn

She set fire to my house, and took off in a storm

Even after shes gone shes still keeping me warm

Take me back those summer days

Winters making my old bones ache

Ill return when the weathers changed

Ill see you in the Diamond State again

Well the roof caved in and the house came down

Theres a hole in my tent, and one in the ground

And the places Ive been aint the place I am now

So watch where you're stepping, Ill see you around

Take me back those summer days

Winters making my old bones ache

Ill return when the weathers changed

Ill see you in the Diamond State

Oh take me back those summer days

This winters making my old bones ache

And Ill return when the weathers changed

I will see you in the Diamond State my friends

Im going California, gonna pan for gold

Because a diamond in the rough aint a diamond in the snow

Im gonna empty all my pockets and admit that Im old

Take my coat to the corner and hope it gets sold

Take me back those summer days

Winters making my old bones shake

Ill return when the weather’s changed

Ill see you in the Diamond State again

Ill see you in the Diamond State

Ill see you in the Diamond State

I will see you in the Diamond State

I will see you in the Diamond State

My friends

Oh my good friends
