Diamonds And Gold

(album: Langhorne Slim - 2008)

You can have all the diamonds, you can have all the gold
But someday you're still gonna get old
You've got to learn to get happy along the way

Take some chances, allow yourself to get lost
You're beautiful baby, you're the boss
You've got to learn to get happy along the way

There's no road to follow only stones left unturned
You must play with fire in order to get burned

Toss your misery out the door
What are you waiting for?
You've got to learn to get a little happy along the way

It's alright to change your style
It's alright to smile
It's alright to get a little happy along the way

Tough day at the office and worse, not at home
Don't wanna talk about it, just wanna be left alone
There's no joy in living, you're giving all and getting none
It's a new beginning, you thought you lost, oh but honey you've won

You can have all the diamonds, all the gold
Someday we're still gonna get old
We've got to learn to get happy along the way

Get your hat, get your coat, babe
Leave your worries on the doorstep
We've got to get a little happy along the way
