	Story Behind the Song This song was motivated by a need to see the good in things that go wrong. The song was written in Nashville and took a few days to write. It was recorded and mixed in 3 Hours. Everything was recorded live except the vocals which were recorded later. I wrote a good chart which included the exact notation of the keyboard intro. Lyrics She’s a little cowgirl With her little cowboy Doing the best she can with Her little bundle of joy She headin’ on the road In her old Cadillac Hoping they got the gas To get across the tracks She was staring out the window He was playing with and old G.I. Joe Don’t you know that there are diamonds in the desert Don’t you know that there are flowers growing in the sand Don’t you know that there are things that come between us And your only hope is you would try to understand It was kinda sad About the way she left She finally found out About daddy’s mistress What’s done is done It’s too late now Maybe one day she Can turn it around but She was dreamin’ bout the ocean She was dreamin’ bout the Hollywood hills Don’t you know that there are diamonds in the desert Don’t you know that there are flowers growing in the sand Don’t you know that there are things that last forever Nothing that you can hold in your hands, but that’s Okay… She can dream about the ocean She can dream about the Hollywood hills Don’t you know that there are diamonds in the desert Don’t you know that there are flowers growing in the sand Don’t you know that there are things that come between us Some things that you will never understand.
