That same road that brought you here
Will sure as hell take you home
The life you left behind will have you back
You're tired of payin' dues
Your worn out shoes and broadway blues
And any fool will tell you the damn old deck is stacked
But what if you're just a vessel?
And God gave you something special?
It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away
Every time you open up your mouth
Diamonds come rolling out
It ain't yours to throw away
No...
And all of the players, the movers and shakers
The storymaker suits have gone home
You drew the last slot
You thought it was your shot
But now it's just one more chance blown
But what if you're just a vessel?
And God gave you something special?
It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away
Every time you open up your mouth
Diamonds come rollin' out
It ain't yours to throw away
No...
In a town as cold as January
Life comes true
And dreams get buried
Every day
Just so we won't be denied
It ain't yours to throw away
No, it ain't yours to throw away
'Cause every time you open up your mouth
Diamonds come rolling out
It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away
Throw away
