Intro

Verse 1

He calls from a hotel in downtown Dallas

Says he won’t be home for three more days

She gets so lonely in her Houston hill top palace

Talking to her self, as their two-year-old plays

She rocks the baby to sleep then gets in bed

Reads romance novels of a love she once had

She closes her eyes as she dreams about the man

Who gave her more than money and a call now and then

Chorus

As the shine on her diamond starts to fade

She recalls the promises they made

But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks

And she’s stuck between a rock and a heartache

Verse 2

She tries to keep busy with her everyday routines

Soap operas in the afternoons, after she cleans

As she wipes off a picture frame from their wedding day

She wonders if he asked her again, what would she say

Guitar solo

Chorus

As the shine on her diamond starts to fade

She recalls the promises they made

But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks

And she’s stuck between a rock and a heartache

Bridge

She feels like she’s stranded somewhere in no man’s land

Cause her life is like a prisoner’s chained to a wedding band

Chorus

As the shine on her diamond starts to fade

She recalls the promises they made

But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks

And she’s stuck between a rock and a heartache
