chorus:nBlack diamonds took my breath awaynthey brought me to my kneesnI've passed from young to old my friendnso listen if you pleasenwhen you get that taste in your lungsnyou'll come back for morenand you'll wear it like a badge nfor that's what hidden treasure's' fornnMy name is McNamara nI'm no leader of a bandnand if you've got mouths to feednI'm sure you'll understandnmy wife she gave me 3 dear sonsnand all but one are gonenand when I look him in the eyenthey say it won't be longnnchorusnnI had a back as strong as rocknand 10 fingers toona twinkle in a rogueish eyenthat went from black to bluenbut everytime we came upnwe'd leave a little soulnnever knowing that we'd need itnon the day that we got oldnnso if you're coming for menlook for the hair of graynand the ghost of those who never got oldnyou'll find me either waynnA fire in the winternsome whiskey when I'm drynthe weakness to fall asleepnbefore my wife begins to crynthey say the Lord does providenbut gets lost below the groundnlots of men look just like menin this Pennsylvania townnnchorus
