No One Carries Me

Intro

Verse 1 Daddy worked Till his hands gave out Never once Heard that man shout He'd carry us On his back somehow Looking back... I still don't know how Now these boots Fit me the same Same old hurt Different name

Pre-Chorus Funny how the ones Who hold it all together Never say a word When they’re coming undone

Chorus Everybody needs a hand When the road turns mean When the whole damn house Starts leaning on me I keep everybody up I keep everybody moving But who’s gonna catch me When I’m done proving? Everybody’s got Somebody to call Me, I just keep walking Even when I’m worn raw

Verse 2 Kids need shoes Mama needs time Neighbors call When something goes wrong Phone keeps ringing Bills piling high Some days I can’t tell what’s mine You get so used To holding weight You start to think That’s just your fate

Pre-Chorus After all these years I still don’t know How to put it down How to let it show

Chorus Everybody needs a hand When the road turns mean When the whole damn house Starts leaning on me I keep everybody up I keep everybody moving But who’s gonna catch me When I’m done proving? Everybody’s got Somebody to call Me, I just keep walking Even when I’m worn raw

Bridge Lord... If I slipped up Would anybody Stay with me? Or would they just Hand me the load And ask me To stand up clean? Everybody needs a hand When the road turns mean When the whole damn house Starts leaning on me I keep everybody up I keep everybody moving But who’s gonna catch me When I’m done proving? Everybody’s got Somebody to call I need one steady voice When I start to fall Maybe someday I’ll finally see That the one I’ve been needing Has been needing me Everybody needs a hand When the road turns mean I just wish, Lord... Mine was you
