挖到一颗钻石歌曲背后的意义：讲述的是关于一位采矿工人挖到了一枚钻石而引发的深思。
这首歌隐喻性地讲，我挖到了一颗钻石是关于一个男人，他一直在寻找生命中的挚爱，似乎毫无希望却忠贞不渝，茫茫人海中，寻寻觅觅终于遇见钻石一样的她。
《I Dug Up A Diamond（我挖到一颗钻石）》，可能是从作者的第一手经验中汲取了我挖出一颗钻石这首歌的抒情灵感。
歌词
I dug up a diamond
Rare and fine
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine
If only I could cling to
my beautiful find
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine
My gem is special
Beyond all worth
As strong as any metal
Or stone in the earth
Sharp as any razor
Or blade you can buy
Bright as any laser
Or any star in the sky
Maybe once in a lifetime
You'll hold one in your hand
Once in a lifetime
In this land
Where the journey ends
In a worthless claim
Time and again
In the mining game
I dug up a diamond
Rare and fine
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine
Down in the darkness
In the dirt and the grime
I dug up a diamond
In a deep dark mine
