Ryan Bingham - My Diamond Is Too Rough Lyrics






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

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

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

    Ryan bingham and tyler childers are the guy clark and Steve earle of this generation. They are the Townes, Prine, Lucinda, Iris, ect ect. That I grew up listening to. This is NOW. I remember my dad playing that shit. Looking back hey thanks dad and uncle paul!!!!!!!!!!!!

    All I can say is that great music has been coming out of Texas, Artist like Ryan Bingham, Justin Townes Earle, Gray Clark Jr,, Ruthie Foster and yes the Black Angels. This is what Heartland music is all about.

    The ranch!!

  14. I.... ....

    Buddy you might not know this but your music is amazing and it hits home for me , and also this song is on the ranch , I heard 5 seconds of it on the send of an episode and I just had to know what song it was

  15. S.... F....

    this song hits home

    When future generations look back on this confused time, only a few things will make sense. Ryan Bingham's music is one of those things.

  17. N.... L....

    Ryan Bingham has inspired me not to give up during some tough times; especially his song, 'The Weary Kind'.

    N.... L....
