G                         F      
I loved a girl, she lived out in 
C                Bb        G
Pecos, pretty as she could be
G                     F      C  
I worked the rigs, on out in 
                 Bb           G
Odessa, to give her whatever she 
needs
G                             F  
But that girl she run with an oil
         C                         
 company bum, 'cause a diamond was 
Bb         G
not on her hand
G                           F
He left her soon 'neath the big 
          C                   Bb  
lovin' moon, to go out and X-Ray 
      G
the land

Chorus:
G               C        F      
Now I sit in my car, the new 
     C          G
Rainbow Bar downtown
Continúa después del anuncio
G       C                        
And the frost on the windshield, 
F                  C
shines towards the sky
G
Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the
 lights of Loving County

Well I walked in that bar, and drank
 myself crazy, thinkin' 'bout her 
and that man
When in walked a woman, lookin' 
richer than sin, in ten years worth 
the work on her hand
Well I followed her home, and when 
she was alone, well I put my gun to 
her head
And I don't recall, what happened 
next at all, but now that rich 
woman, she's dead

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

Well she opened that door, and I 
knelt on the floor, and I put that 
ring in her hand
She said, "I do" and she'd leave 
with me soon to the oil rigs out in 
south Alabam'
Well I told her to hide, that ring 
there inside, and wait til the 
timing was good
And I drove back home, and I was 
alone, because I thought that she 
understood

Last night an old friend just called
 me to wish us both well
Said he'd seen her downtown, 
sashayin' around
And the diamond how it sparkled in 
the lights of Loving County

Well that sheriff he found me out 
wanderin' all around, El Paso the 
very next day
You see, I'd lost my mind, on that 
broken white line, 'fore I even 
reached Balmorea
Now she's in Fort Worth, and she's 
just givin' birth, to the son of 
that oil company man
And they buried that poor old, 
sheriff's dead wife with the ring 
that I stole on her hand

Sometimes they let me look up at 
that East Texas sky
And the rain on the pines, oh Lord 
how it shines
Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the
 lights of Loving County
