Things That I Lean On

Psalm 23 when I'm scared to death
A sleeping pill and my mind won't rest
A little BB King when the thrill is gone
These are the things that I lean on
God's grace when I'm looking on a dangerous path
Twelve steps when I need to find my way back
My nana's voice on the telephone
These are the things that I lean on

When I've done something sorry that I can't undo
The devil's giving me another talking-to
When the spirit's weak and the body's breaking
The fine line separating right from wrong
What ought to be obvious is all but gone
These are the things that I lean on

The shoulder of a man who's stronger than me
The faith of a child and I can't believe
The timeless soul of a Conway song
These are the things that I lean on

When I've done something sorry that I can't undo
The devil's giving me another talking-to
When the spirit's weak and the body's breaking
The fine line separating right from wrong
What ought to be obvious is all but gone
These are the things that I lean on

The shoulder of a man steady and strong
Twelve steps and the twenty-third Psalm, yes
These are the things that I lean on
These are the things that I lean on
These are the things that I lean on
