Well he spent that summer walkin door to door
With a can of gas and an old lawnmower
that's a sure fine way to make a buck when your 14

Well he walked the block with no luck at all
Then he spotted a place where the weeds were tall
When a young girl sittin on the front porch eatin ice cream

Deep in the pocket of his grass-stained jeans
Was some carmel corn and a plastic ring
both left over from the week before
Momma didn't was 'em thank the lord


Just like a crackerjack diamond
Never know when you're gonna find one
They found love from that day on

The hand of fate brought them together
Their hearts would stay forever young
Like a crackerjack diamond


Well it's been five years since he gave her his prize
Now the sparkle's gone but not in their eyes
And he's been wantin to tell her what's been 
on his mind lately

He said girl I ain't rich but I've been savin up
A little everyday till I had enough
And before he could finish she said "You Know I will Baby"

Deep in the pocket of his holy jeans 
Was some money for the picture and a diamond ring
He took her back to that old front porch
Slipped it on her finger and he thanked the lord


Just like a crackerjack diamond
Never know when you're gonna find one
They found love from that day on

The hand of fate brought them together
Their hearts would stay forever young
Like a crackerjack diamond
