Diamond Days Lyrics - Diamond Days - Eric Bibb

Some days you get diamonds, 

Some days nickels and dimes 

Some days life's a poem 

Some days nothing rhymes, 

Some days you're a winner, 

Some days you lose, 

Some days all you're doing is paying dues. 

On a Wednesday I was playing in a biker bar outside Topeka 

On that Friday I was playing on a blues cruise, going to Dominica 

Ebbs and flows, like the tide 

Some days you get diamonds, 

Some days nickels and dimes, 

Some days sparkle, 

Some days nothing shines, 

Some days you're given 

Some days you choose, 

Some days all you're doing is paying dues. 

Tonight I'm sleeping in a 5-Star hotel, Wouldn't ask for more, 

But I remember I wound up many a night sleeping on a stranger's floor, 

Sometimes you walk, sometimes you ride.

Some folks treat you like something under their shoe, ain't nothin' new. 

Others greet you like a holy prophet, now what you gonna do? 

You try to take it all in stride, 

Cuz some days you get diamonds, 

Some days nickels and dimes, 

Some days you're out of tune, 

Some days it all chimes, 

Some days you're grinnin', 

Some days you're frownin; ' the blues, 

Some days all you're doing is payin' dues 

Some days all you're doing is payin' dues
