Diamond in the Rough Songtext
von Social Distortion

Well I′ve been up yeah
And I've been down
Been kicked around yeah
This God-forsaken town
So many faults, so little time
I′ve gotta find a piece of mind
Peace of mind

I was looking for something
Anything at all
Something to believe in
Spray-painted on the walls
I've made mistakes yeah
I've pay for them too
What′s a poor boy suposed to do?


Then she said yeah yeah
You′re like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you′re damaged
All you need's a little love
But inside you sparkle
They′ll lights stars above
You'll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough

There was a time when, I could not say
I got a reason, to live another day
I′ve discarted a treasure and them passing on by
And I can understand the reasons why

Then she said yeah yeah
You're like a diamond in the rough
You're dirty and you′re damaged
All you need′s a little love
But inside you sparkle
They'll lights stars above
You′ll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough


Then she said yeah yeah
You're like a diamond in the rough
You′re dirty and you're damaged
All you need′s a little love
But inside you sparkle
They'll lights stars above
You'll be there in the morning
When the going gets tough

Diamond in the rough now yeah
Who′ll lights stars above yeah yeah
All you need′s a little love now yeah yeah
