Hey buddy I'm back in town
Got a room where I can come unwound
A little sound from my guitar strum
Drinking black coffee in the blazing sun
I saw your mama in the bar last night
She was smiling but sad inside
A bracelet made from your guitar strings
Little lights that spelled out your name
24 diamonds, 24 diamonds
We were 19 and playing in a band
You beat that Strat til the blood in your hand
Ran down the strings, onto the floor
All you wanted was more more more
24 diamonds, 24 diamonds
Hey buddy what happened to you
How'd you get lost in Baton Rouge
There's a thousand bucks missing, there's a .38 shell
There's things you know that the facts won't tell
That bar we used to play burned down to ash
Pappy the Greek blew town in a new Cadillac
The past is steady leaving, every moment gone
In the blinding fade I can hear your song
24 diamonds, 24 diamonds
Hey buddy I'm back in town
Got a room where I can come unwound
A little sound from my guitar strum
Drinking black coffee in the blazing sun
