Story Behind The Song
A familiar story, being dumped, another form of diamond, and the dotted eights sassy enough to write the story.
Song Description
Her fiance skipped town. Her diamond ring is now no more than diamond dust slipping through her fingers. He is now the blue eyed devil and she is strong enough to move on, wise enough to not be fooled again.

Lyrics
Diamond Dust is all he left me, fading
visio-ons of our plans tarnished
now they lost their sparkle like Diamond
Dust it slipped right through my hands. Good-
bye fairy tale promises I've turned a brand new page. The
fable of the Diamond Dust is all played out on this stage. Diamond
Dust, must have been Diamond Dust I saw
my whole world in that pretty little ring That
blue eyed devil rode out of town on my dreams. Guess I'll
brush the Diamond Dust off my jeans
How could
I not see the stranger or re-
ea- ead be- tween the lies My poor
heart so close to danger those phoney
ro-ome- o's make me cry. I'll
buy a one ton diesel crew lift kit F - O -R - D. Out
run the type all mooney eyed and falling on their knee. Diamond
Dust, must have been Diamond Dust I saw
my whole world in that pretty little ring That
blue eyed devil rode out of town on my dreams. Guess I'll
brush the Diamond Dust off my jeans , that's what I'll do, yes I'll
brush the Diamond Dust off my jeans
