Well he spent that summer walkin' door to door
With a can of gas and an ol' lawn mower
Thats a sure fire way to make a buck when youre fourteen
Well he walked the block with no luck at all
Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall
With a young girl sitting on the front porch eating ice cream
Deep in the pocket of his grass stained jeans
Was some caramel corn and a plastic ring
Leftover from the week before
Momma didnt wash them thank the lord
Chorus:
Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond,
You never know when your gonna find one
They found love from that day on
The hand of fate put them together,
Their hearts will stay forever young
Like a Cracker Jack Diamond
Well its been five years since he gave her his prize
Now the sparkles gone, but not in their eyes
And hes wanting to tell her whats been on his mind lately
He said, girl I aint rich but Ive been saving up
A little ever day til I had enough
Before he could finished she said, you know I will baby
Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans
Was money for the preacher and a diamond ring
He took her back to that old front porch
Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the Lord
Chorus:
Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond,
You never know when your gonna find one
They found love from that day on
The hand of fate put them together,
Their hearts will stay forever young
Like a Cracker Jack Diamond
once a year she takes it out but it dont fit her hand
she wears it in her heart
thats where it all began
Chorus:
Just like a Cracker Jack Diamond,
You never know when your gonna find one
They found love from that day on
The hand of fate put them together,
Their hearts will stay forever young
L:ike a Cracker Jack Diamond...
