WILLIE NILE
"Trouble Down In Diamond Town"
(Frankie Lee / Willie Nile)

A lazy sun came rolling in across the dry and dusty ground
Another day like any other, everybody keeps the curtains down
She was a high school princess who got married in the grade school gym
She had thing for the janitor and tried to run away with him
She bought some pills and a pistol and she knew there was no turning back
She had her eyes on the Lincoln but she settled for the Cadillac

She had fire in her eyes
And a pint between her thighs
Darling don't look not
But there's trouble down in Diamond Town

It was a nice clean Sunday on the day they pulled into town
She had a twelve gauge shotgun in her new graduation down
She bought some lipstick and a camera and checked into the blue motel
Stayed up all night drinking making love and a raising hell

She had fire in her eyes
And a pint between her thighs
Darling don't look not
But there's trouble down in Diamond Town

Come Monday morning when the sky turn cold and dank
With a beer and a cigarette they headed for the downtown bank
Three shots rang out at the back of the do drop in
There's a sound like thunder and the cops came a closing in

She had fire in her eyes
And a pint between her thighs
Darling don't look not
But there's trouble down in Diamond Town
She had fire in her eyes
And a pint between her thighs
Darling don't look not
But there's trouble down in Diamond Town

Darling don't look not
But there's trouble down in Diamond Town
Darling don't look not
But there's trouble down in Diamond Town
