John Anderson - I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal Lyrics

Jimmy nutron brought me here

His mom was from a small town, called Hyden in Leslie County Kentucky, a Coal miming community in Eastern Kentucky!

great song

Jimmy Neutron lol

Jimmy neutron anyone?

Reminds me of that tragedy

Are you talking about in 2001? When The Norm Show got cancelled?

Billy strings brought me here

I'm 25 Nd its 2019. This is my jam baby

Erry Day! Shinin!

Another classic tunage from JA






That "Someday" is how they getcha
Don't fall for it.

Jimmy Neutron brought me here

I'm just an old lump of clay, but I'm gonna be a fossil some day.

This song puts a smile on my face.

John Anderson sounds a lot like Lefty Frizzell.

Let's keep Western Swing going, folks!

Reminds me of a friend!! Ha

Norm brought me here.

Lost a cousin this week. He played the best of country in a little local band. He was an old chunk of coal. God Bless Jackie Clark, country picker and great all around good ole boy.

Nobody sings old chunk of coal like John Anderson in my Yankee opinion

Explain to the folks at home what coal is

This was the first song he played when I saw him in concert last weekend, great tune!

I wonder if he made it?

Hell Yeah 💎

John Anderson is the best country singer ever

You can't keep from patting your foot. Try it.

Sitting on duty at my marine corps duty station bored out my mind and out of no where I remembered this song from my child hood only 22 and it felt like it was yesterday

Johnny A! Same classic voice this day in time. Three decades after recording his most famously known songs. He's the man!

Just a good memory song. Years have passed still makes me smile.

You can really hear Lefty Frizzel in John's voice here he must've been a big inspiration to him.

I'm A Gay Do My Butt hole!

Kyle Jeeter Feeder pat Skeeter!

My life theme song.

I'm gonna be a diamond someday. Not anytime soon. Probably just keep being rougher than a cob LOL.

Lady Luck I can sympathize just went through a divorce and some days well most days I feel like an ole chunk of coal. lol enjoy this song and God bless.

First time I ever heard this song was when A.G.W played it...his voice was so soft I could barely make out the words...I had to listen over and over again... still love it 💕

Very coaly indeed

Great song; great voice; bluesy bar room music.

Love the dobro solo, on this 'un!

John was right...he's a Diamond...Diamond country gold !!!

Where does John Anderson get his ideas from?

Billy joe shaver

Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
Last I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self
'Till I get rid of every single flaw

I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go around shaking everybody's hand
Hey I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
***************
Now I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow till I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
Last I should become vain along the way
Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day.....

Anyone think this sounds like Cleveland singing?

mom loved thos son bless her heart r.i.p passed 2014

My mom loves this song too July 2014

How did I ever miss this nice gem? Great country song!

This was my theme song and anthem after I lost everything in 1982 in Houston when the oil boom crashed and Mr. Portillo invoked exchange controls in Mexico, devalued the Peso and I just lost $247,000 on a shipment of electrical equipment to Mexico. My home in Sugarland was foreclosed on, my ex wife sued me for child support and my new Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Broughm was repossessed. I was left with an old 1970 Ford F250 with a 100,000 miles on it and a single wide trailer on a dirt road in Caldwell, TX and spent about a year trying to destroy my liver with Dewars Scotch.

And so goes the folly of man.....

I hope by now your "someday" has come and you're a diamond again.

"I was left with an old 1970 Ford F250 with a 100,000 miles on it and a single wide trailer on a dirt road in Caldwell, TX and spent about a year trying to destroy my liver with Dewars Scotch." You're COMPLAINING about a Dream Life like that!?!?! The heck you want outta life anyway? (Now, I would toss the Scotch for Bourbon tho...)

How in the hell.......???

I’m gonna betray my lineage and ASSimulate into what everyone else thinks I should be!! I’m not proud of where I’m from or who my family is. I don’t care about anything but being part of the crowd!!

Yep ! love it!

here's to my favorite Ol chunk of Coal, Norm MacDonald

...been a chunk of coal since this song came out... Still.. A foolish old chunk of coal. Someday...?

Billy Joe Shaver wrote this...

I agree Angel

I'm just an old chunk of s***, but I,m gonna be fertilizer some day........ I'm gonna grow and grow so stinky sh*tty, I'm gonna put a smile on every farmers face......... I'm gonna rot and stink every day, unless some damn flood comes and washes me away,...... I'm just an old chunk of s*** now Lord, but i'm gonna be fertilizer some day.......

Perfect voice for this song

Been country n blue Grass all my life so I love John Anderson . Don't remember what year it was at 80 years old the years are not important any more . Some was ask to record that song gonna ba a diamond some day . He told them to get John Anderson to record it . John made a hit out if it .

I just realized there's this weird cult of Norm Macdonald followers online. I also just realized that I'm one of them. I've been one of them for years, but I've just started to notice how many others there really are. Legion.

Autumn K IM NOT NORM

Explain to the folks at home who Norm Macdonald is

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎😏

@Val K yeah who is he ?

@robin robinrobin ledford an odd-looking duck

Oooooo Norme, stari komadu uglja... Sjajna stvar inače.

I just love this song.. He does such a good job singing it. Love that bangio in the background too.

Excellent.

My dad had churches that he went to on different Sundays he said he was a teacher not a preacher this was his favorite song "we all have room for improvement no matter how good you are you can improve your self "

So true!

Thumbs up ! To John Anderson, and Billy Joe Shaver.

This song sure brings back memories . I was a 17 year old trail guide at a resort in NC. I would sing this song to the customers while we were riding the horses. Great times. hahaha

I'm still an ole chunk of coal. hehehe

I remember the coal industry commercials with the chunk of coal dancing to this song

jimmy neutron

It seems like I am the only listening in 2017

Badass Strike Eagle lies!
