It's tears in the river
he's gone
gone forever
he's a sun
that's setting
so go on girl forget him
Diamonds on the water
are here if you want 'em
I swear if
we're together
I could love you better
than tears in the river
In the heart of Alabama
where the sweet
magnolias bloom
there's a young girl
with a heart
that's broke in two
And she feels all
out of luck now
doesn't know
just feels so stuck now
all alone and hurt
from what
he put her through
If you let him
roll out with the tide
I know I can dry those
tears in the river
he's gone
gone forever
he's a sun
that's setting
so go on girl forget him
Diamonds on the water
are here if you want 'em
I swear if
we're together
I could love you better
than tears in the river
There's a young boy
with a guitar
and he's got
some songs for you
whatcha say girl
if he wrote you
a line or two
Come on hop up in
this truck now
drive to Nashville
chasing luck now
watch the memories
wash away
in that rearview
If you let him
roll out with the tide
I know I can dry those
tears in the river
he's gone
gone forever
he's a sun
that's setting
so go on girl forget him
Diamonds on the water
are here if you want 'em
I swear if
we're together
I could love you better
than tears in the river
