The same road that brought you here sure as hell take you home The life you left behind will have you back You're tired of paying dues, your worn out shoes, and Broadway blues And any fool will tell you the damn old deck is stacked What if you're just a vessel And God gave you something special It ain't yours to throw away It ain't yours to throw away Every time you open up your mouth Diamonds come rolling out It ain't yours to throw away No And all of the players, the movers and shakers The story maker suits have gone home You drew the last slot, you thought it was your shot But now, it's just one more chance blown What if you're just a vessel And God gave you something special It ain't yours to throw away It ain't yours to throw away Every time you open up your mouth Diamonds come rolling out It ain't yours to throw away No Yeah, that town is cold as January Life comes true, dreams get buried Every day, destiny won't be denied It ain't yours to throw away No, it ain't yours to throw away 'Cause every time you open up your mouth Diamonds come rolling out It ain't yours to throw away It ain't yours to throw away Throw away
