Jerry Jeff Walker - Every Drop of Water lyrics

Allen Shamblin/Steve Seskin Life is like a roller coaster It's up and down, it's over and over again 'Til it ends The way I figure it, it's grist for the mill A lesson you learn in every hard spill you take There's no mistake Chorus: We're all diamonds in the rough We'll all shine soon enough Struggles in this life can make you strong We waste the good times and the bad But keep in mind that when you're sad Those tears of joy and sorrow lead you home Every drop of water shapes the stone You wouldn't know it by lookin' at me now Not long ago, I was down for the count and scared Didn't think I had a prayer But I found the strength to get over that mountain It took a little time, but nobody's countin' anyway So I'm here to say Chorus Bridge: There's a masterpiece in every heart An ever changing work of art Chorus Life is kind of like a roller coaster Up and down, over and over again 'Til it ends
