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
