Diamond in the Rough - Shawn Colvin, John Leventhal

    Somenight, I'll be bathing in moonlight
    Under flickering lamplight!
    On the avenue

    I'll live like a country squire
    Do whatever I desire
    I feel compelled to do

    [Chorus]
    But I know I can fill that role so fast
    I know what I say will someday come to pass

    I'll be sweet cream
    I'll be living my daydream
    While I'm dancing on moonbeams
    On the avenue

    Lately, I'm surrounded by leeches
    I ain't complaining but Jesus
    What did I do

    Cheap beer
    I been living on cheap beer
    And the occasional Musketteer
    On the avenue

    [Chorus]
    But I know the way it is can never last
    I know what I say will someday come to pass

    And It'll be good times
    I'll be smiling while the moonshines
    On my collections of valentines
    On the avenue
    On the avenue
