Yesterday I was caught up in a flash flood
Storms clouds runnin' through my blood
And I've been thinkin', thinkin' bout not sinkin'
It's so hard to carry weight when you walk on weary legs
I could really use a steady shoulder
I find I need you more as I get older
When you're not here it's never colder
And I could really use a steady shoulder

Been tryin' to learn all these things that I just can't control
All these things still take a toll
And I've been workin', workin' on myself
My pride is something else I could just leave up on the shelf
These things change as we get older
The fire burns and then it smolders
Pretty sure it's getting colder
And I could really use a steady shoulder

Well the rains' been falling way too long, can't wait for all this gray to be gone
And over till its over it's been one hell of an October
If I could get this achin' out my mouth, I'd run like hell to them breakin' clouds
And take some time to breath, maybe this is all we need
Well I could really use a steady shoulder
I find I need you more as I get older
It's easy to give up but we are soldiers
And I could really use a steady shoulder
