From dirt roads to diamonds
I was born where the red dust flies
Underneath those endless skies
Had a worn-out truck and a secondhand dream
And a whole lot more hope than money
Yeah, I had nothing but a heart of gold
And a story that hadn't yet been told
Three, two, one...
From dirt roads to diamonds!
From the dust to the stars!
I was broke with a dream
And a beat-up old heart!
Now I'm standing here beside my girl
Got a brand-new life in a brand-new world
But the richest thing I ever found
Was the love that turned my whole life around!
Hey! Hey!
From dirt roads to diamonds!
Daddy worked the ranch from dawn till dark
Mama prayed when times got hard
Hand-me-down jeans and holes in my shoes
A rusty old gate and a stubborn mule
We ate what we grew, made do with less
Learned that hard work beats a fancy address
I'd stare at the stars from a dusty old bed
Dreaming of the life I'd live ahead
I didn't know where the road would lead
But there was something burning inside of me
I kept on riding through the wind and rain
Believing someday I'd break these chains
From dirt roads to diamonds!
From the dust to the stars!
I was chasing a dream
With a fire in my heart!
Then you came along and changed everything
Put a little heaven in the songs I sing
I thought being rich meant a pocket full of gold
Now I know it's the love that a heart can hold!
Whoa-oh-oh!
Look at where we are!
Whoa-oh-oh!
From dirt roads to diamonds!
Years rolled by, I was older and tired
Still chasing a future, still feeding that fire
Then one summer evening, beneath a sunset sky
I saw you laughing, and time passed me by
You had a smile that could quiet my soul
A way of making a broken man whole
You never cared about the boots that I wore
You saw the man I'd been fighting for
You said, "Baby, you don't have to prove
That you're worth loving, just be you"
And for the first time in all my years
I felt God's grace wash away my fears
From dirt roads to diamonds!
From the dust to the stars!
I was chasing a dream
With a fire in my heart!
Then you came along and changed everything
Put a little heaven in the songs I sing
I thought being rich meant a pocket full of gold
Now I know it's the love that a heart can hold!
From the dust!
To the stars!
You took this ranch boy
And opened my heart!
Hey! Hey!
Let the whole world know!
You made a poor man's soul
Feel richer than gold!
Together we built what I couldn't alone
Turned those hard years into a place called home
The money came later, the business grew
But the greatest investment was always you
We bought back the land where my story began
Put my name on the gate, became my own man
But every night when I kneel and pray
I thank the Lord for the road and the way
If all this money disappeared tonight
If every dream took its final flight
I'd still be the richest man alive
With your hand in mine and faith inside
Faith inside...
That little boy with the dusty shoes
Found everything when he found you
Raise your glass to the days gone by!
Raise your hands to the open sky!
From a dirt-floor dream to a life brand-new!
Lord, I owe it all to You!
FROM DIRT ROADS TO DIAMONDS!
FROM THE DUST TO THE STARS!
I FOUND MY FAITH!
I FOUND MY GIRL!
I FOUND MY PLACE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD!
You found your way...
You found your way...
I may have started with nothing to show
But look at the life that love can grow!
From dirt roads to diamonds!
From the dust to the stars!
With God by my side
And your hand in my heart!
I thought being rich meant a pocket full of gold
Now I know it's the love that a heart can hold
Give me this ranch, this life, this view
And every tomorrow beside you!
That little boy still lives in me
Still rides those hills, still dreams those dreams
But now when the sun sets, I know where I belong
In your arms, with the Lord, singing this song.
From dirt roads...
To diamonds...
And I'd do it all again for you.
