Arkansas Diamonds

[Verse 1]
Another Tuesday, same old drive around the block
Headphones up, trying not to overthink the clock
Then I catch her in the window of that corner store
And the whole damn day feels lighter than it did before

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wave, I don’t speak, I just keep on walking
But the way the light hit, man, it’s got me talking to myself

[Chorus]
I’ve been quietly smilin’ ’bout her eyes that be shinin’
Like Arkansas diamonds, cuttin’ through the gray
She don’t even know it, but she’s got me rewindin’
Every little look, every time she looks away
Yeah I’ve been quietly smilin’, heart doin’ overtime
Like Arkansas diamonds, yeah they’re stuck inside my mind

[Verse 2]
She’s got that laugh that bounces off the pavement
Makes the whole street feel like it’s got a different name
I tell myself I’m cool, I tell myself I’m fine
But I’m already writin’ her in every other line

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t text, I don’t call, I just keep it quiet
But every time I see her, yeah the quiet starts to riot

[Chorus]
I’ve been quietly smilin’ ’bout her eyes that be shinin’
Like Arkansas diamonds, cuttin’ through the gray
She don’t even know it, but she’s got me rewindin’
Every little look, every time she looks away
Yeah I’ve been quietly smilin’, heart doin’ overtime
Like Arkansas diamonds, yeah they’re stuck inside my mind

[Bridge]
(half-time, then build)
I could keep it buried, keep it under lock and key
But those eyes keep cuttin’ deeper than they’re supposed to be
Maybe I’m just starin’ from the passenger seat
Or maybe I’m already gone, yeah maybe I’m already beat

[Final Chorus]
(gang vocals / whoas on the second half)
I’ve been quietly smilin’ ’bout her eyes that be shinin’
Like Arkansas diamonds, cuttin’ through the gray
She don’t even know it, but she’s got me rewindin’
Every little look, every time she looks away
Yeah I’ve been quietly smilin’, heart doin’ overtime
Like Arkansas diamonds, yeah they’re stuck inside my mind
