cracker jack diamond

Don Williams

Well he spent that summer going door to door
With a can of gas and an old lawn mower
Thatââ?¬â?¢s a sure fire way to make a buck when youââ?¬â?¢re fourteen.

Well he made a buck with no luck at all
Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall
With a young girl sitting on the front porch eatingââ?¬â?¢ ice cream.

Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans
Was some caramel corn and a plastic ring
Leftover from the week before
Momma didnââ?¬â?¢t wash them thank the Lord.

Chorus:
Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond,
You never know when your gonna find one
They found love from that day on
The hand of fate put them together,
Their hearts will stay forever young
Like a Cracker Jack Diamond.

Well itââ?¬â?¢s been five years since he gave her his prize
Now the sparkleââ?¬â?¢s gone, but not in their eyes
And heââ?¬â?¢s wanting to tell her whatââ?¬â?¢s been on his mind lately.

He said, girl I ainââ?¬â?¢t rich but Iââ?¬â?¢ve been saving up
A little ever day ââ?¬Ë?til I had enough
Before he could finished he said, you know I will baby.

Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans
Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring
He took her back to that old front porch
Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord.

Chorus:
Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond,
You never know when your gonna find one
They found love from that day on
The hand of fate put them together,
Their hearts will stay forever young
Like a Cracker Jack Diamond.

Now once a year she takes it out but it wonââ?¬â?¢t fit her hand
But she wears it in her heart
Because thatââ?¬â?¢s where it all began.

Chorus:
Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond,
You never know when your gonna find one
They found love from that day on
The hand of fate put them together,
Their hearts will stay forever young
L:ike a Cracker Jack Diamond...
