Sittin' in a honky tonk redneck bar
Watchin' some cat play the steel guitar
Lookin' for love in the wrong place again
It's a sin, there she is leaving with another man
Oh, love, take me back home
Where my heart's not healing over
The love I lost with you, Diane
Sweet Diane
Walked down the alley way late that night
A dark man in glasses walked up with a knife
I said, "You must be crazy, I got nothing left
She took it all, y'all"
There she goes leaving with another joe
Oh, love, take me back home
Where my heart's not healing over
The love I lost with you, Diane
Sweet Diane
Sitting in the living room, playing my guitar
Thinking 'bout an easy way to go out far
'Cause she's somewhere
Loving another man
Oh, love, take me back home
Where my heart's not healing over
The love I lost with you, Diane
Sweet Diane
Oh, love, take me back home
Where my heart's not healing over
The love I lost with you, Diane
Sweet Diane, Diane, Diane, Diane
