Diamonds Lyrics - Rodney Atkins

She said, "I've been up all night and half scared to death 

I can smell liquor on your breath 

I paid for your rehab with my IRA, boy 

Your daddy'd be turnin' in his grave" 

She said, "Son, I've done all a momma can do 

I save myself but I can't save you" 

He said, "I wish that you and Jesus would get offa my back 

They said his truck was doin' 90 when he crashed" 

I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes 

Even God cries when an angels hands are tied

They said, "Honey, grown-ups do this all the time" 

The tears welled up in the little girls eyes 

They said, "Now it's not something that you've done 

It's just that mommy and daddy don't get along" 

She said, "Do you guys mean that you need a time-out 

And that daddy's gonna move to a different house" 

They said, "You'll have two bedrooms you're a lucky kid" 

She said, "Well, what about Checkers, where's he gonna live" 

I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes 

Even God cries when an angel's hands are tied

She prays angels watch me through the night 

Stay by my side till morning light, God bless momma 

God bless daddy, keep us together and happy 

I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes 

Even God cries when an angel's hands are tied
