My first truck was a rusty pile of steel
I felt like a king when I was my highest wheel
The windows down I thought I only rolled
I saw a diamond when the world saw a cold
Moved to Tennessee to be a star on Music Row
Pouring out my heart with every song that I'd wrote
Trying to find a yes but everybody told me no
Just to be a diamond when the world saw a cold
There's always a silver lining You keep looking till you find it
It might take a little polish It might take a little hope
To see a diamond when the world sees cold
I spent a lot of time on both ends of broken hearts
But the good Lord had a plan when He joined us
I said,
baby,
be my wife with a little ring and a little stone
She saw a diamond when the world saw a cold
There's always a silver lining
You keep looking till you find it
It might take a little polish It might take a little hope
To see a diamond when the world sees cold
I've got a real long list of things I'm not proud of
But I've been saved by amazing grace,
washed in the blood
He sent His only Son to save my soul
Guess He saw the diamond when the world saw a cold
There's always a silver lining You keep looking till you find it
It might take a little polish It might take a little hope
To see a diamond when the world sees cold
To see a diamond when the world sees cold
