Social Distortion - Diamond In The Rough

[Swen12358]

Mike Forever-3

[Vincenteloco]

yes i was an a hole once

[zippobang]

Best version of this song."I'll pick my fights now; I'll pick some more; someone please help me off the floor." sumphin like dat

[McCutcheonci]

A lot of Social Distortion's songs I (and I bet many fellows fans) often relate to. This one in particular I feel for because so often I see girls that are so unappreciated, but when they smile its worth dying for. However, they are afraid to actually go out with a guy because they don't want to be vulnerable.

[dalton59]

the record is Hard TImes And Nursery Rhymes guys (:

[CitizenZero00]

PRAISE THE LORD,PASS THE WHISKEY

[fireninja242]

do i hear a flanger?

[LPRory]

anyone notice the lyrics "

I was looking for somethin'

Anything at all.

Something to belive in. Written on the bathroom wall" is the same lyrics from SD's Lost and Found? same exact lyrics

[imzombified]

yup i noticed too

[dirtbagstan]

@LPRory also he repeated "There was a time when I could not say

I got a reason to live another day" from lost and found...it must be something he really struggled with or wanted to relate. i enjoy lost and found better, more heartfelt.

[zippobang]

thanks for the lyrics, man.

[Stanik6661]

2nd part:

I´ve been chasing like a diamond in the rough

You're dirty and you're damaged.

All you need's a little love.

But inside you sparkle, like the stars above.

You'll be there in the morning, when the going gets tough.

There was a time when, I could not say

I got a reason to live another day.

I'll pick my fights. Yeah I'll pick some more.

Won't you help me up from the floor

[Stanik6661]

unofficial lyrics: Well I've been up yeah And I've been down Been kicked around yeah This god-forsaken town. So many faults, so little time. I've gotta find a piece of mind. Peace of mind. I was looking for somethin' Anything at all. Something to belive in. Written on the bathroom wall. I've made mistakes yeah, I've had a few. What ´s a boy supposed to do

[greasertom]

nice dude

[goldendawn7]

They've been playing this damn song for years live, I wish they would release it already!

[greasertom]

[glennbo76]

Me too! I hope this will be on the new record coming out this Fall.

[BringOutTheLions]

Nice!

[bradley3210]

great song here, thanks for the posting, going to see Mike Ness in San Diego tomorrow

[hotrodratz]

This song is a must for the new 09' CD. Social D' is all about live shows. To hear music straight from the heart. Doesnt get any better.

[franklefevers]

i saw this live for the first time and have looked for it for two years and you never know what its like to have someone sing a song you never heard before that some one else has said to you in almost the exact same words and never be able to play for them

[lowlowJr]

Damn this song is so fucking great!!

Mike Ness ROCKS!!!

[ScottyTull22]

my favorite song hell ya sd rockz

[fefu23]

[deadkid248]
