Leaning On You

You’re the water in my whiskey
The wildflower in my dirt
You’re the “Boy, get outta bed
Put on your boots, let’s go to church”

You’re the red light on my too fast
The whisper to my yell
You’re the “Show me how to love
When I can’t even love myself”

Girl, I know
I’d be pushing up some daisies
Ridin’ shotgun with my crazy
And I know
That the good Lord up above me
Knew that you’d make something of me
‘Cause every day you do
‘Cause I can’t even stand up straight
Without leaning on you

I had everything to gain
And you had everything to lose
Yeah, I give you every reason
Not to love me like you do
But I thank God you do

Yeah, I know
I’d be pushing up some daisies
Ridin’ shotgun with my crazy
And I know
That the good Lord up above me
Knew that you’d make something of me
‘Cause every day you do
‘Cause I can’t even stand up straight
Without leaning on you

I’d be face down in the rubble
I’d be six-foot deep in trouble
I’d be wasting my time praying I’d find you, oh

Girl, I know
I’d be pushing up some daisies
Ridin’ shotgun with my crazy
And I know
That the good Lord up above me
Knew that you’d make something of me
‘Cause every day you do
I can’t even stand up straight
Without leaning on you
On you
