Everybody Lyrics - Diamonds In The Rough - John Prine

While out sailing on the ocean 

While out sailing on the sea 

I bumped into the Saviour 

And He said pardon me 

I said "Jesus you look tired" 

He said "Jesus so do you, 

Sit down son 

'Cause I got some fat to chew" 

Chorus: 

Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to 

Someone to open up their ears 

And let that trouble through 

Now you don't have to sympathize 

Or care what they may do 

But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

Well he spoke to me of morality 

Starvation, pain and sin 

Matter of fact the whole dang time 

I only got a few words in 

But I won't squawk 

Let 'em talk 

Hell it's been a long long time 

And any friend that's been turned down 

Is bound to be a friend of mine 

(Repeat chorus) 

Photos 

Now we sat there for an hour or two 

Just eatin' that Gospel pie 

When around the bend come a terrible wind 

And lightning lit the sky 

He said so long son I gotta run 

Appreciate you listening to me 

And I believe I heard him sing these words 

As he skipped out across the sea 

(Repeat chorus)
