I loved a girl she lived out in Pecos pretty as she could be
And I worked the rigs on out in Oddessa to give her whatever she needs
But that girls she runs with an oil company bum cause a diamond was not on her
hand
But He left her soon neath the big Loving moon to go out and x-ray the land
Chorus
Now I sit in my car the new rainbow bar downtown
And the frost on the wind sheild shines towards the sky
Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights of Loving County
Verse
Well I walked in that bar and I drank myself crazy thinkin bought her and that
man
When in walked a woman lookin richer than sin and ten years worth of work on
her hand
Well I followed her home and when she was alone I put my gun to her head
And I dont recall what happened next at all but now that rich woman she's dead
Chorus
Now I drive down the highway ten miles from my sweet baby's arms
And the moon is so bright it don't look like night
and the diamond how it sparkles in the lights of Loving County
Instrumental
Well she opened that door and I knelt on the floor
and I put that ring in her hand
And she said I do and she'd leave with me soon to the rigs out in south Alabam
Well I told her to hide that ring there inside and wait till the timin was
good
And I drove back home and I was alone cause I thought that she'd understood
Chorus
The next night an old friend just called me to wish us both well
said he'd seen her downtown sashay'in around
and her diamond how it sparkled in the lights of Loving County
Instrumental
Well that sheriff he found me out wonder'n all around El Paso the very next
day
You see I'd lost my mind on that broken white line
before I even reached Balmaray
Now she's in Ft.Worth and she's just givin birth
to the son of that oil company man
And they burried that poor old sheriffs dead wife
with the ring that I stole on her hand
Chorus
Sometimes they let me look up at that East Texas sky
and the rain on the pines oh lord how it shines
like my darlins little diamond in the lights of Loving County
