Call her up in the middle of the morning
Five o'clock on the dot without a warning
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 blessing just to know her name
That sparkle in her eyes could 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 I'll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
She lives her life wild and free
Doesn't never know what she means to me
Doesn't have a single clue in the world
'Cause she'll always have my heart
No matter where we are
It'll always belong to you, girl
And it's a blessing 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 I'll keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
Keep on digging for this Arkansas diamond
