Don Williams - Cracker Jack DiamondLyrics

Well he spent that summer walkin' door to door With a can of gas and an ol' lawn mower That's a sure fire way to make a buck when you'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 eating 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 didn't wash them, thank the Lord Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond You never know when you're 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 it's been five years since he gave her his prize Now the sparkle's gone, but not in their eyes And he's wanting to tell her what's been on his mind lately He said, "Girl, I ain't rich but I've been saving up A little ever day 'til I had enough" Before he could finished she 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 thank the Lord Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond You never know when you're 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 won't fit her hand But she wears it in her heart Because that's where it all began Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond You never know when you're 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
