Julian Austin Diamond Lyrics

Diamond Lyrics

he's been playing these small town bars forever and a day

it ain't no nine to five livin' but it keeps the bills paid

his love for what he does keeps him going

living for the people at his shows

but he knows he isn't never gettin' nowhere

playing the same old honky tonks and rodeos

he's got some money saved, fixed up that old truck

he's gonna hit the highway, nashville's his next stop



he's gonna see his name up in neon lights

shining like a star up on stage, all dressed in white

sold out shows in every town, just to hear him sing

he's gonna see his face in every magazine,

billboards, t.v.'s, videos and silver screens

he's a diamond in the rough, just waiting to shine



he got a break to play one night to play

down at the bluebird cafe, when a man walked right

after the show and said "son, you got what it takes"

he said son i'd like to make you a big star, bigger than all the rest

they'll know your name all the way from tokyo to rio

from left coast to key west

now he's got almost eighty million recods sold

signing autographs everywhere he goes



now he sees his name up in neon lights

shining like a star up on stage, all dressed in white

selling out shows in every town, just to hear him sing

now he sees his fave in every magazine,

billboards, t.v.'s, videos and silver screen

now that diamond in the rough, is a diamond that shines

lord he shines

oh your gonna watch him,oh your gonna watch him shine

from houston, dallas, santa fe, nahsville usa, nashville usa
