You Can Lean On Me

Words and Music by Raccoon

When I was a young boy

I never did the things I was told no, no, no, no, no

Now that I’m a little older and I’m livin' on the road

Yes, I’m crazy

You gotta be crazy to live this way

You gotta be crazy to live day by day

Hey, hey I’m crazy

 

I used to be into material possession

'Till I fell into this spiritual recession

I’ve got one thing left to give away that’s plain to see

That thing is that you can lean on me

You can lean on me

 

When none of your friends are around

Just as long as I’m in town

You can lean on me

 

You gotta be kind to the hobo (and the wino)

'Cuz you might be one someday hey, hey, hey

When you’re a deadbeat and livin' on the street

You’re gonna wish that you could hear someone say:

“You can lean on me”

You can lean on me

 

When your dick’s in the dirt

And the things that people say begin to hurt

You can lean on me

 

When everybody’s on your case

And you can’t seem to find your place

You can lean on me

 

I’m as strong as a mountain

Givin' up love like a fountain

You can lean on me

 

If you need a shoulder you can cry on

If you need a lap you can die on

You can lean on me

 

You can lean on me

You can lean on me

 

You got to roll with the punches

Trouble always comes in bunches

But don’t you forget, but don’t forget, don’t forget how to smile

You gotta run the last mile

 

You can lean on me

You can lean on me

You can lean on me

 

Because I’m crazy you can lean on me

I’m certifiably crazy with no guarantee

I’m in-deniably crazy you can lean on me

You can lean on me
