I’m Just an Old Chunk of Coal Songtext
von Johnny Cash

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
