Some Days Are Diamonds

In the airport lounge she sat in a fancy feathered hat 
 The grandest lady I had ever seen 
 Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes 
 So I asked her if she'd like some company 


 In my rhinestone studded suit, My cowboy hat and boots 
 I must have been a sight to see 
 But she said "Pull up a chair," as she fumbled with her hair 
 A more unlikely pair you'll never see 


 I was Mogen David wine, she was Chabls Fifty-nine 
 But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady 
 She was evenings at the opera and summers in Paree 
 I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennessee 


 The cowboy and the lady 
 As diff'rent as could be 
 But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee 


 And somewhere in between her Harvey's Bristol Creme 
 And the beer I drank and the easy company 
 We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather 
 Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy 
 And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady 


 The cowboy and the lady 
 As diff'rent as could be 
 But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee 


 We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather 
 Now there's a little bit of class in this old cowboy 
 And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady
