[Verse 1]
My first truck was a rusty pile of steel
But I felt like a king when I was behind the wheel
With the windows down I thought I own the road
I saw a diamond when the world saw coal
Moved to Tennessee to be a star on Music Row
Pourin' out my heart with every song that I wrote
Tryin' to find the yes but everybody told me, "No"
Just to beat a diamond when the world saw coal

[Chorus]
There's always a silver linin'
You keep lookin' 'til you find it
It might take a little polish
It might take a little hole
To see a diamond when the world sees coal

[Verse 2]
Spent a lot of time on both ends of broken hearts
But the good Lord had a plan when he joined ours
I said, "Baby, be my wife", with a little rain and a little storm
She saw the diamond when the world saw coal

[Chorus]
There's always a silver linin'
Keep lookin' 'til you find it
It might take a little polish
It might take a little hole
To see a diamond when the world sees coal
[Bridge]
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
I guess he saw the diamond when the world saw coal

[Chorus]
There's always a silver linin'
Keep lookin' 'til you find it
It might take a little polish
It might take a little hole
To see a diamond when the world sees coal
To see a diamond when the world sees coal
