Call her up in the middle of the mornin'

5 o'clock on the dot, without a warnin'

Pouring my heart out into the phone

Half awake and barely asleep

Hours spent listening to her dreams

'Cause hearing that voice makes me feel at home

Well, it's a blessin' just to know her name

The sparkle in her eyes can put stars to shame

And it's a wonder if she'll ever think twice

On a wretch like me, wouldn't that be nice?

Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds

Dreams bigger than a Texan's horizon

Lord knows a poor man like me would do anything

'Cause your love is what I'm pining

Cut nice, polished and shining

A gem like you is hard findings

So keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

She lives her life wild and free

Doesn't know what she means to me

Doesn't have a single clue in the world

But she'll always have my heart

No matter where we are

It'll always belong to you, girl

And it's a blessin' just to know her touch

Her sweet southern drawl will make you fall in love

And this lady that I hold so dear

Well, I'd be nothing without her here

Smile brighter than them Arkansas diamonds

Dreams bigger than a Texan's horizon

Lord knows a poor man like me would do anything

'Cause your love is what I'm pining

Cut nice, polished and shining

A gem like you is hard findings

So keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond

Keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
