Dust and Diamonds Lyrics

She grew up on a ranch outside of Abilene

Where the work was hard, and the land was lean

Her hands were tough, but her heart was kind

Like a Texas treasure, rare to find

She taught me the ropes when I was young

How to ride the storms and face the sun

With every step, she made me see

The beauty in this life she gave to me

It's dust and diamonds, sweat and pride

Building dreams on a rugged ride

Through broken fences and endless plains

We found forever in the love we made

It's dust and diamonds, rough but true

Every hard day brought me closer to you

We carved out a life where the cattle roam

On a stretch of land we call our home

With a porch swing creak and a dog that stays

We count our blessings in simple ways

She's the fire in my heart, the calm in my soul

The steady hand that makes me whole

Through droughts and floods, we've held on tight

Turning every struggle into pure sunlight

It's dust and diamonds, sweat and pride

Building dreams on a rugged ride

Through broken fences and endless plains

We found forever in the love we made

It's dust and diamonds, rough but true

Every hard day brought me closer to you

Some folks chase gold, some run for fame

But we found riches in love and a name

With every crack in the dirt, every storm we braved

We built a life no wind could take away

It's dust and diamonds, sweat and pride

Building dreams on a rugged ride

Through broken fences and endless plains

We found forever in the love we made

It's dust and diamonds, rough but true

Every hard day brought me closer to you

Out here it's grit, not gold, that stands the test

And with her by my side, I know I'm blessed

It's dust and diamonds, our lives combined

Forever etched in this Texas time
