It's tears in the river
He's gone, gone forever
He's a sun that's setting
So go on girl, forget him
Diamonds on the water
Are here if you want 'em
I swear, if we're together
I could love you better
Than tears in the river
In the heart of Alabama, where the sweet magnolias bloom
There's a young girl with a heart that's broke in two
And she feels all out of luck now
Doesn't know, just feels so stuck now
All alone and hurt from what he put her through
If you let him roll out with the tide
I know I can dry those
Tears in the river
He's gone, gone forever
He's a sun that's setting
So go on girl, forget him
Diamonds on the water
Are here if you want 'em
I swear, if we're together
I could love you better
Than tears in the river
There's a young boy with a guitar and he's got some songs for you
Whatcha say, girl, if he wrote you a line or two?
Come on, hop up in this truck now
Drive to Nashville, chasing luck now
Watch the memories wash away in that rearview
If you let him roll out with the tide
I know I can dry those
Tears in the river
He's gone, gone forever
He's a sun that's setting
So go on girl, forget him
Diamonds on the water
Are here if you want 'em
I swear, if we're together
I could love you better
Than tears in the river
