Diamond On The Dresser

Sat in silence in the kitchen
Cutting tension with a knife
Didn't bring up all the drinking
She was done with wasting time
One tank of gas in the Pontiac
And two bags in the trunk
She'd slip out the back at 3AM
And leave him in the dust

Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Glass bleeding on the paper
Ring around the goodbye letters
He couldn't put down that Tennessee
Now she's gone forever
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser

Wrote her reasons on a looseleaf
Then she taped it to the bottle
Knowing good and damn well he'd find it
And it's a cold hard proof to swallow
For her it's the fact that he chose the Jack
For him it's the fact she won't come back
The curtain falls and the ink dries
The devil laughs and an angel cries

Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Glass bleeding on the paper
Ring around the goodbye letters
He couldn't put down that Tennessee
Now she's gone forever
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser

A quiet house and an empty bed
That's enough to make you sober
You can pour a drink or pour it down the sink
Either way it's over

Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
Glass bleeding on the paper
Ring around the goodbye letters
He couldn't put down that Tennessee
Now she's gone forever
Whiskey on the rocks
Diamond on the dresser
