John Prine. Diamonds In The Rough. Everybody. Zeneszám

While out sailing on the ocean, while out sailing on the sea
Bumped into the Savior and He said pardon me
I said "Jesus you look tired", He said "Jesus so do you"
Won't you sit down son 'cause I got some fat to chew"

You see 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 damn time I only got a few words in
But I won't squawk let 'em talk hell it's been a long, long time
Any friend that's been turned down is bound to be a friend of mine

'Cause 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

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 I appreciate you listening to me
And I believe I heard Him sing these words
As He skipped out across the sea

"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
Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to"
