She was just a country girl quietly livin' life
And never thought of givin' away her love
She looked at me through willin' eyes, and if I understood
She could have her way with me, she would

She was a diamond in the dust
Shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust
To call my own

She was a rose without the thorns
Waiting to be worn
By the man who found
The diamond in the dust

Now I wear a band of gold inscribed inside for me
And our love is gettin' stronger every day
Sometimes it's almost like a dream, I could love like this
Then she wakes me with another kiss

She was a diamond in the dust
Shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust
To call my own

She was a rose without the thorns
Waiting to be worn
By the man who found
The diamond in the dust

She was a diamond in the dust
Shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust
To call my own

She was a rose without the thorns
Waiting to be worn
By the man who found
The diamond in the dust

She was a diamond in the dust
Shine beneath the rust
Someone that I could trust
To call my own

She was a rose without the thorns
Waiting to be worn
By the man who found
The diamond in the dust
