Michael Johnson - Diamond DreamsLyrics

Two men on, two men down Not a friendly face in this baseball town I gotta make this fool swing, gotta cut him down Or it's back to the farm I might as well throw away my arm this time And it's one strike, caught him lookin' And it's two strikes, oh now I'm cookin' Here's my hard one As he swings I see his eyes Another boy with diamond dreams like mine Mama pleaded, "Son, stay in school 'Cause you don't wanna grow up to be no big league fool And all they want is your body boy, they don't care about you" Well I'm hoping that she's wrong 'Cause I'm feeling so strong this time And it's one strike, caught him lookin' And it's two strikes, oh now I'm cookin' Here's my hard one As he swings I see his eyes Another boy with diamond dreams like mine Oh when the crowd's on its feet How I live for this moment The bitter and the sweet Caught him lookin' Oh now I'm cookin' Here's my hard one As he swings I see his eyes Another boy with diamond dreams like mine Caught him lookin' Oh now I'm cookin' Ooh Mama, I got these diamond dreams I got these diamond dreams
