Diamond on the Dresser

Sat in silence in the kitchen

Cuttin' tension with a knife

Didn't bring up all the drinkin'

She was done with wastin' time

One tank of gas in the Pontiac

And two bags in the trunk

She'd slip out the back at 3 AM

And leave him in the dust

Whiskey on the rocks

Diamond on the dresser

Glass bleedin' on the paper

Ring around the goodbye letters

He couldn't put down that Tennessee

Now she's gone forever

Whiskey on the rocks

Diamond on the dresser

Wrote her reasons on a looseleaf

Then she taped it to the bottle

Knowing good and damn well he'd find it

And it's a cold hard proof to swallow

For her, it's the fact that he chose the Jack

For him, it's the fact she won't come back

The curtain falls, and the ink dries

The devil laughs, and an angel cries

Whiskey on the rocks

Diamond on the dresser

Glass bleedin' on the paper

Ring around the goodbye letters

He couldn't put down that Tennessee

Now she's gone forever

Whiskey on the rocks

Diamond on the dresser

A quiet house and an empty bed

That's enough to make you sober

You can pour a drink or pour it down the sink

Either way, it's over

The whiskey on the rocks

Diamond on the dresser

Glass bleedin' on the paper

Ring around the goodbye letters

He couldn't put down that Tennessee

Now she's gone forever

Whiskey on the rocks

Diamond on the dresser
