lyrics

Penny in a Diamond Mine

Do you have a way to slow down lord
Do you have a way to slow down lord
I'm a sinner but I don't know why lord
A sinner but I don't know why, don't know why

They woke me in the morning with my britches on
Got a love of the highway, fear of the dawn
And I'm the only one who takes my time lord
The only one who takes my time, takes my time

When the bridges broke
Our bodies fell into the tide
When the water froze
Eyes were staring at the sky
Thought I left here for a penny in a diamond mine
You get just one of those before you die

Do you have a way to slow down lord
Do you have a way to slow down lord
I ain't a beggar but I don't mind trying lord
Ain' a beggar but I don't mind trying, don't mind trying

I've been sleeping like a liar with a fool for a bed
Running from a lover who once though I was dead
And I'm the only one who's seen her cry lord
The only one who's seen her cry, seen her cry

When the bridges broke
Our bodies fell into the tide
When the water froze
Eyes were staring at the sky
Thought I left here for a penny in a diamond mine
You get just one of those before you die
