Rhinestone In The Rough Lyrics

by Marlee Scott

He got no manners, no style,
He got no money, or miles.
He's got a big old truck, but it don't start.
He got a day job, that's good
Then he got laid off, he would
Even the bad for closed his booth at the local bar.

My friends all say that I could do much better
With somebody else in a brand new start.

But I still believe in him, someday I know he's gonna win
‘cause even when he's down and out I've got no doubt
That he'll make it in the end.
His heart is like a diamond, still shining when the going gets tough
Oh, I guess I'm in love with the rhinestone in the rough.

My momma hates him, that's bad,
Poppa said he'd break him in half,
Even my brothers and my sisters think he's a joke.
He's kind of like a bad boy, cliche',
Know I'm never gonna change him the way
He'd go to zero up to hero if it wasn't so broke.

My mind says “run, don't listen to emotions,
Girl, just turn around and let it go”.

But I still believe in him, someday I know he's gonna win
‘cause even when he's down and out I've got no doubt
That he'll make it in the end.
His heart is like a diamond, still shining when the going gets tough
Oh, I guess I'm in love with the rhinestone in the rough.
Yeah, I guess I'm in love with the rhinestone in the rough.

It was all about his kiss like the fourth of July,
Yeah, it hit me like a flame that lit up the sky.
He can break me to laugh with the look in his eyes,
No, I'll never walk away, ‘cause I know how hard it tries.

But I still believe in him, someday I know he's gonna win
‘cause even when he's down and out I've got no doubt
That he'll make it in the end.
His heart is like a diamond, still shining when the going gets tough
Oh, I guess I'm in love with the rhinestone in the rough.
Yeah, I guess I'm in love with the rhinestone in the rough.
