WELL HE SPENT
THAT SUMMER
WALKING DOOR TO DOOR
WITH A CAN OF GAS AND
AN OLD LAWNMOWER
THAT'S A SUREFIRE
WAY
TO MAKE A BUCK
WHEN YOU'RE
FOURTEEN
WELL HE WALKED
THE BLOCK
WITH NO LUCK AT ALL
THEN HE SPOTTED
A PLACE
WHERE THE WEEDS
WERE TALL
WITH A YOUNG GIRL
SITTIN' ON THE
FRONT PORCH
EATIN' ICE CREAM
DEEP IN THE POCKET OF
HIS GRASS STAINED
JEANS
WITH SOME
CARAMEL CORN
AND A PLASTIC RING
LEFT OVER
FROM THE WEEK BEFORE
MAMA DIDN'T WASH 'EM
THANK THE LORD
JUST LIKE A
CRACKER JACK
DIAMOND
NEVER KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE GONNA
FIND ONE
THEY FOUND LOVE
FROM THAT DAY ON
THE HAND OF FATE
THAT BROUGHT THEM
TOGETHER
THEIR HEARTS
WILL STAY FOREVER
YOUNG
LIKE A CRACKER JACK
DIAMOND
4 BAR
BREAK
WELL IT'S BEEN
FIVE YEARS
SINCE HE GAVE HER
HIS PRIZE
NOW THE SPARKLE'S
GONE
BUT NOT IN THEIR EYES
AND HE'S WANTIN'
TO TELL HER
WHAT'S BEEN
ON HIS MIND LATELY
HE SAID GIRL
I AIN'T RICH
BUT I'VE BEEN SAVIN' UP
A LITTLE EVERY DAY
TILL I HAD ENOUGH
AND BEFORE
HE COULD FINISH
SHE SAID
YOU KNOW I WILL BABY
DEEP IN THE POCKET
OF HIS HOLEY 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
JUST LIKE A
CRACKER JACK
DIAMOND
NEVER KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE GONNA
FIND ONE
THEY FOUND LOVE
FROM THAT DAY ON
THE HAND OF FATE
THAT BROUGHT THEM
TOGETHER
THEIR HEARTS
WILL STAY FOREVER
YOUNG
LIKE A CRACKER JACK
DIAMOND
4 BAR
BREAK
ONCE A YEAR
SHE TAKES IT OUT
BUT IT DON'T FIT
HER HAND
SHE WEARS IT
IN HER HEART
THAT'S WHERE IT ALL
BEGAN
JUST LIKE A
CRACKER JACK
DIAMOND
NEVER KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE
GONNA FIND ONE
THEY FOUND LOVE
FROM THAT DAY ON
THE HAND OF FATE
THAT BROUGHT THEM
TOGETHER
THEIR HEARTS
WILL STAY FOREVER
YOUNG
LIKE A CRACKER JACK
DIAMOND
LIKE A CRACKER JACK
DIAMOND
LIKE A CRACKER JACK
