There's nothing sadder than an empty sidecar, A train with no engineer The cop in this town, he hates Elvis, He's hanging from my rearview mirror But he never sees it, he's usually drinking beer Leaves his patrol car parked down here In Black Diamond Where the mountains begin and end Black Diamond Never one to fit in My neighbor is a veteran, he's got a doberman He named her Hope His pension's guaranteed, but he sells the kids weed And tells dirty jokes My sister's in the beauty shop, wants to move on She's tried to leave but she never stays gone From Black Diamond Where the mountains begin and end Black Diamond Never one to fit in Black Diamond For a Rocky Mountain ring Oh Black Diamond I can hear em sing It's too late now to start again You always look smarter with your shirt tucked in Caught between the tables and the jukebox Between fireworks and let there be rock Shooter nights and chicken wings The kids around here will dance to anything But there's nothing sadder than an empty sidecar, A train with no engineer The cop in this town, he hates Elvis, He's hanging from my rearview mirror Like the one eared wolf with a green dragon smile Pour another shot I'm gonna be here awhile
