Every Time You Open Your Mouth Diamonds Come Rolling Out


Tonight's season finale of Nashville was sooooo good. I LOVE this show!

But more than what happens on the show in terms of character interaction, I love the music. Every week, I love the music. This song was sung by Sam Palladio who plays Gunnar Scott, and it was written for his ex-girlfriend turned friend, Scarlett O'Connor, played by Clare Bowen.


The song is called It Ain't Yours To Throw Away.  Here are the lyrics so you can follow along:

That same road that brought you here
Will sure as hell take you home
The life you left behind will have you back
You're tired of paying dues in worn out shoes
and Broadway blues
And any fool will tell you
the damn ol' deck is stacked

What if you're just a vessel
And God gave you something special

It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away
Every time you open up your mouth
Diamonds come rolling out
It ain't yours to throw away
No 

And all of the players, the movers, and shakers
The story maker suits have gone home
You drew the last slot
You thought it was your shot
But now it's just one more chance blown

What if you're just a vessel
And God gave you something special

It ain't yours to throw away
It ain't yours to throw away
Every time you open up your mouth
Diamonds come rolling out
It ain't yours to throw away
No 

And our town is cold as January
Life comes true, and dreams get buried
Every day 
Destiny won't be denied

It ain't yours to throw away
No, it ain't yours to throw away
'Cause every time you open up your mouth
Diamonds come rolling out
It ain't yours to throw away

It ain't yours to throw away
Throw away
