Dinah (Diamond In The Rough)

(album: House Of Cards - 2012)

Sipping from a hose in North Carolina
In a summer so hot you'd appreciate simple stuff
I didn't have much, but I had a girl named Dinah
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

Trying to make my way…North Carolina
Putting food on the table when I didn't earn enough
Never mattered much to her, but that's just like Dinah
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

Dinah will always say even to this day
That I have what it takes in spite of mistakes I've made
Dinah believes in me
Though I've falling short of what I wanted to achieve
Dinah believes I can
She's my girl and I'm her man
Can't love her enough
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

When it comes to love, I leave that to Dinah
Her's is like a drug
Keeps me going back for more
If she asked me to I would dig clear through to China
Anything she might need day or night
Is what I'm living for

Dinah will always say even to this day
That I have what it takes and in spite of mistakes I've made
Dinah believes in me
Though I've falling short of what I wanted to achieve
Dinah believes I can
She's my girl and I'm her man
Can't love her enough
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough

Dinah will always say even to this day
That I have what it takes in spite of mistakes I've made
Dinah believes in me
Though I've falling short of what I wanted to achieve
Dinah believes I can
She's my girl and I'm her man
Can't love her enough
This poor boy knows a diamond in the rough
