about

A ballad about tough times and bad choices affecting those close to you, The desire and struggle to improve, and to prove to those affected, that you can do better.

lyrics

Diamond in the Rough

Hanging out in the cold last night, you seemed so far away
held your hand to find some warmth inside, You pulled it back and looked away
I know things bin tough lately, work is slim and I bin drinkin
but I swear to you I'll pull through for us, I'll never let you get away
.
But down inside Im not sure I trust myself,
its a hell of a mountain for me to climb
remember when things were simple babe
didnt have a dollar, didnt need a dime
if I can find a way to prove to you, theres a lot of me left to give

Cos I'm a diamond in the rough
a little worn and kinda tough
guess its time I show my stuff
Cos Im a diamond in the rough
Im a diamond in the rough


I want you to know how much I love you so, this family means the world to me

if I dont make it to the end of the road, trust I gave every part of me
Im sorry for the times you lay alone at night, wonderin if i'd be home at all
stumblin in without a thought for anyone, swear I'll never go there again
If I can find a way to prove to you, Theres a lot of me left to give
.
I'm a diamond in the rough
a little worn and kinda tough
guess its time I show my stuff
Cos Im a diamond in the rough
Im a diamond in the rough
