Now I sit in my car the new rainbow bar downtown
        A                        D                  A

Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights of Loving County

Now I drive down the highway ten miles from my sweet baby's arms
       A                     D               A
And the moon is so bright it don't look like night
E
and the diamond how it sparkles in the lights of Loving County

Well she opened that door and I knelt on the floor
               G           E
and I put that ring in her hand
E                      D                  A                       G     E
And she said I do and she'd leave with me soon to the rigs out in south Alabam

E                                 D            A                   G        E
Well that sheriff he found me out wonder'n all around El Paso the very next
day
E                                D            A
You see I'd lost my mind on that broken white line
              G       E
before I even reached Balmaray
E                               D          A
Now she's in Ft.Worth and she's just givin birth
                   G           E
to the son of that oil company man
E                              D              A
And they burried that poor old sheriffs dead wife
                     G            E
with the ring that I stole on her hand


Chorus
A                          D          A          E
Sometimes they let me look up at that East Texas sky
A                            D           A
and the rain on the pines oh lord how it shines
E
like my darlins little diamond in the lights of Loving County
