Diamonds and Rust
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
I left my heart there
On the street corner
With a rusty mailbox
And a broken neon sign
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
Oh, the music was cheap
And the women were fine
Oh, I had a lot of fun
But I was a young boy in a dream
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
Now I'm back on the road again
Oh, it's a long way home
But I'm headed south again
And I'm on my way home
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
Like a child in the winter sunshine
The years have all fallen away
Like a train from the timetables of time
Oh, I'm just another passenger away
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
When I get back to my house in the mountains
The air will be clear and the flowers will grow
I'll see the blue of the sky and the green of the trees
And I'll feel like I'm home again, home again
Oh, diamonds and rust
In my hometown
