Let me be the one who mails you a vote of confidence While you're laying there in jail Let me be the one who cries and moans to the hanging judge Gotta get my baby some bail Let me be the one who watches you from a distance Every Friday night Let me be the one who takes down the pusher man When you finally loose your appetite Let me be the one who walks down to the liquor store Somebody else tonight Let me be the one who gets down on his hands and knees And thanks God that you're alright Gonna be alright, baby Well, I may run of out friends when the chips are down Run out of patience from the bullsh** in this town But baby, baby, I'll never run out of nothing for you, nothing baby Let me be the one who's shoulder that you cry on Tellin' me all those bad, bad stories Let me be the one who's got to learn how to forgive 'Cause he doesn't want to loose his road to glory Let me be the one who cries like a baby When you finally see the light Let me be the one with his eye on his faith 'Cause he knows God can fix anything Let me be the one who shares His love and His grace Making a joyful noise when I sing Let me be the one who finally learnin' how to hold on tight I'm still here, baby Well, I may run of out friends when the chips are down Run out of patience from the bullsh** in this town But baby, baby, I'll never run out of nothing for you, nothing baby Nothing for you
