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
