My Diamond Is Too Rough

Ryan Bingham

People they tell me
As they look upon my skin and bones
You're ragged and you're dirty
Hardly worth your weight in gold

For all of your suffering
No one gives a good goddamn
It's all about the money, son
We doubt you understand

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love

Sometimes at night
I look upon the stars above
They never shine as bright
As my diamond in the rough

People they tell me
Just to give up and go on home
But to have no home to go to
Is something they'll never know

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love

Sometimes I feel
Like I ain't getting nowhere
I'm walking down this road
With a burden I can't bear

I never let this world
Get too heavy on my shoulders
'Cause my diamond always will
Pull the weight that I'm under

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
