[Intro]
A-one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
And if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day
[Chorus]
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
[Verse 2]
And all around your island
There's a barricade
That keeps out the danger
That holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
[Chorus]
But you got a heart so big
(Heart so big, big)
It could crush this town
(Crush this town, town)
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
(Yes they do)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
Part of me is gone
[Chorus]
But you got a heart so big
(Heart so big, big)
It could crush this town
(Crush this town, town)
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
Baby, you got a heart so big
(Heart so big, big)
It could crush this town
(Crush this town, town)
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
A-one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
And if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day
[Chorus]
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
[Verse 2]
And all around your island
There's a barricade
That keeps out the danger
That holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
[Chorus]
But you got a heart so big
(Heart so big, big)
It could crush this town
(Crush this town, town)
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
(Yes they do)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
Part of me is gone
[Chorus]
But you got a heart so big
(Heart so big, big)
It could crush this town
(Crush this town, town)
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
Baby, you got a heart so big
(Heart so big, big)
It could crush this town
(Crush this town, town)
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
