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 3AM 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 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 Yeah, 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 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 Diamond on the dresser
