Every Drop Of Water Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

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 

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 

Both 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 

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 

Sorry man, but when you're sad 

Both tears of joy and sorrow lead you home 

Every drop of water shapes the stone 

There's a masterpiece in every heart 

An ever changing work of art 

We're all diamonds in the rough 

We'll all shine soon enough 

Struggles in this life can make you strong 

Waste the good times and the bad 

Sorry man, but when you're sad 

Both tears of joy and sorrow lead you home 

Every drop of water shapes the stone 

Life is kind of like a roller coaster 

Up and down, over and over again 'til it ends
