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

12 steps when I need to find my way back

My mama'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

12 steps and the 23rd 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
