Lyrics: John Anderson. I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal.

Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
And last I should become vain along the way
And 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
And I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self
Till I get rid of every single flaw

Yea, I'm gonna be the world's greatest friend
I'm gonna go round shaking everybody's hand
I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
Yea, I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Now I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
Hey and I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
And last I should become vain along the way
Hey and I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
And yea, I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
Yea, I'm gonna be a diamond some day
