I walked through a river of diamonds
I could see the sand below
Walkin' through that river of diamonds
Wasn't sure just where id go

And it swept me up
And it knocked me down
And it chewed me up
And it spit me out

Here lies a man with his head in the sand
Here lies a man with his head in the sand

I crawled into a cave of misfortune
Couple dollars in my hand
Crawlin' in to that cave of misfortune
Money makes it hard to stand

And the cave was dark
So I took my cash
And I lit a spark
Turned it all to ash

Here lies a man with his head in the sand
Here lies a man with his head in the sand

It's a time that's meant for sorrow
It's a time for myself
I know this time tomorrow
I'll be far 'way somewhere else
There's a song I need to borrow
Yeah, I'll keep it on my shelf
There's not a lot that I know
But I know this is what I want to sing

I flew past a mountain of troubles
I could see snow on its peak
Flyin' past that mountain of troubles
I could feel my wings, my wings, my wings were weak

And the wind was strong
So I lost my way
Now the journeys long
I got no place to stay

Here lies a man with his head in the sand
Here lies a man with his head in the sand
Here lies a man with his head in the sand

I've never had much luck before
When j see an open door, I lace up my boots and I run
Now I'm sailing towards a distant shore, just tryin to even up the score
Dig up my roots and I'm done
