Somethin' to Lean On Lyrics

I got a girl with 16 carat green eyes
Like the sun coming out of a cold grey sky
Praise god and the devil she's a diamond in the rough
Like a fine piece of metal in a world so tough
When I feel like things ain't going my way
And there's a cool breeze blowing through my Chevrolet
She gives me what I need when I get home at night
Cooking macaroni and cheese by the fireplace light
'Cause you give me something to lean on
You give me somewhere to go
You give me something to run on, when my tank is running low
Every time I start to break down, you pull me off of the floor,
You give me something to lean on
There was a time when I thought that the world was cold
Hiding my face from the people on the road
Putting up walls like an ancient king

I didn't wanna have anything to to do with anything
Now me an my girl just hanging around
Mandolin's making such a magical sound
While I'm stomping my boots on the old pine floor
She's got the back beats covered on the tambou-
You give me something to lean on
You give me somewhere to go
You give me something to run on, when my tank is running low
Every time I start to break down, you pull me off of the floor
You give me something to lean on
You give me something to lean on
You give me somewhere to go
You give me something to look at, when my head's been hanging low
And every time I start to shine, you turn it into a glow
You give me something to lean on
You give me something to lean on
