Diamond in the Dust

Verse 1
I chased neon lights, swore love was a game,
Heart like a highway, no one to blame.
But under a sky painted Tennessee gold,
You walked in, and my whole world slowed.

Chorus
You’re a diamond in the dust, a shot of honest trust,
The melody my heartbeat’s always known.
From lonely to forever, tangled souls together—
Baby, you’re my one and only home.

Verse 2
We danced in pickup trucks, sang off-key truths,
Your laugh turned my “lost” into bedrock roots.
Now every sunset’s a promise we keep,
Two tangled hearts in a rhythm so deep.

Chorus
You’re a diamond in the dust, a shot of honest trust,
The melody my heartbeat’s always known.
From lonely to forever, tangled souls together—
Baby, you’re my one and only home.

Bridge
When the years turn our hair silver and thin,
We’ll still sway like we did back then.
A love this real don’t fade, don’t rust—
My diamond, my always, my one and only crush.

Chorus
You’re a diamond in the dust, a shot of honest trust,
The melody my heartbeat’s always known.
From lonely to forever, tangled souls together—
Baby, you’re my one and only home.

Outro
(Oh-oh-oh…) My one and only home.
(Oh-oh-oh…) Never lettin’ go.
