Johnny Cash Chunk Of Coal Lyrics

Chunk Of Coal Lyrics

I'm just an old chunk of coal

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna glow and grow

'Til I'm so blue pure perfect

I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray everyday

Lest I should become vain along the way

I'm just an old chunk of coal, now Lord

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day



I'm gonna learn the best way to walk

I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk

I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self

Til I get rid of every single flaw

I'm gonna be the World's best friend

I'm gonna go around shaking everybody's hand

Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' Rage of the Age

I'm gonna be a diamond some day
