Sure as stone surely she's the one

Harbor town prom queen on the run

Good as gold with dreams of California

She'd sell her soul just to get out of southern Georgia

Mr. Friday night slams the car door in frustration

He says not a word and drops her off down at the greyhound station

She's got forty-seven dollars and he thinks what's the use in trying

She's like a rhinestone out there man swimming in a sea of diamonds

She'll be coming home for Christmas

He'll be camping out on Diamond-head road

Drinking red wine and wishing those headlights would slow

Breaking down

She met Gustavo, says he can make her a star

But she aint no fool boys, she didn't let it get that far

She's got a job waiting tables and a run down one room shack

He wrote letters and she even wrote one back

She'll be coming home for Christmas

He'll be camping out on Diamond-head road

Drinking red wine and wishing those headlights would slow

Breaking down

He went to tryouts and she studied acting

He couldn't hack it, Athens sent him packing

Then he took off west and got as far as Santa Fe

Before pride put up a roadblock on that reconcile highway

And she's never coming home for Christmas

But he's still camping out on Diamond-head road

Drinking red wine and wishing those headlights would slow

Breaking down
