Truckstop Honeymoon - Diamonds in the Asphalt

      
 
 Verse 1
 C                          
 I gave you a band of silver
                       F  
 There was no diamond ring
 
 Said: "Baby where we're going
                       C    
 got no use for such things"
 
 You will find all the gems
                            F  
 that you could want right here
 
 On the interstates and highways
                 C   
 80,000 miles a year.
 
 CHORUS
 C                                
 There are diamonds in the asphalt
                       G 
 Ain't that what they say
 
 Ain't that why the blacktop
                   C 
 Glitters in that way
 
 There's many a fool's follow it
                       F  
 to the ends of their days
                  G  
 It's not their fault
 
 Blame it on false promises
                            C   
 And the diamonds in the asphalt
 
 Verse 2
 C                        
 You were always searchin'
                               F 
 for some treasure you don't find
 
 I have followed you this far
               C  
 But, I don't mind
 
 May - be - sometimes
                         F 
 we must carry a heavy load
 
 we get richer with every mile
                           C           
 that we drive along this road (CHORUS)
 
 (SOLO) - same chords as Chorus
 
 Verse 3
 C                  
 We have come so far
                          F 
 Still we have so far to go
 
 I hope to God, that someone
                         C  
 Will be coming to this show
 
 And the babies are cryin'
                         F 
 And I feel like cryin' too
 
 But it's too late to turn back now
                    C          
 Even if we wanted too (CHORUS)
 
 OUTTRO
 G                              
 Yeah blame it on false promises
                            C   
 and the diamonds in the asphalt
