Judd, Wynonna - Things That I Lean On Lyrics






Psalm 23 when I'm scared to death
A sleeping pill and my mind won't rest
A little BB King when the thrill is gone
These are the things that I lean on
God's grace when I'm looking on a dangerous path
12 steps when I need to find my way back
My mama's voice on the telephone
These are the things that I lean on

When I've done something sorry that I can't undo
The devil's giving me another talking to
When the spirit's weak and the body's breaking
The fine line separating right from wrong
What ought to be obvious is all but gone
These are the things that I lean on

The shoulder of a man who's stronger than me
The faith of a child and I can't believe
The timeless soul of a Conway song
These are the things that I lean on

When I've done something sorry that I can't undo
The devil's giving me another talking to
When the spirit's weak and the body's breaking
The fine line separating right from wrong
What ought to be obvious is all but gone
These are the things that I lean on

The shoulder of a man steady and strong
12 steps and the 23rd Psalm, yes
These are the things that I lean on
These are the things that I lean on
These are the things that I lean on

    Good Heavens! What a wonderful gift. Thank you Ms. Judd. You sing it like an Angel. Thank you Ms. Siskind. The lyrics are inspired! btw...don't expect radio to play this. This is much too authentic for their playlists. All the C-POP radio is giving me the s__ts. What happened to originality? OH, I forgot. Originality won't buy you a new Mercedes. Too Bad....all the incredible music we're missing out on......

  29. M.... C....

    I love this song! It speaks to me. The album is great too, some of Wynonna's best vocals yet, you can tell her heart and soul went into it.

    I saw Wynonna live yesterday at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and she just blew me away! She really took over the stage, and her confidence, her candidness and beautiful and powerful voice really touched everyone's hearts. This album is definitely work getting. Her and the Big Noise are just amazing. This song brought me to tears when I heard it live for the first time. <3 <3

  36. J.... L....

    This song is so much, words of hope, we need more of this

  37. M.... M....

    this is an amazing song

  38. L.... G....

    Wynonna' s new album has blown me away! How I have missed her voice on the radio. Everyone should be hearing this album!

    L.... G....

    Be hearing it? Hell I have the cd. lol Have all her stuff & seen her allot of times to boot & not only is she a might fine singer, but she could be a stand up comic if she ever decided on a career change, cos some of the things she says on stage at her shows is downright comical. She's something special!!!

    L.... G....

    @defiantone Just saw her! You are right! She was WONDERFUL!!

  39. j.... f....

    this is an awsome song please listen

  40. K.... C....

  42. t.... ....

    really great

  43. H.... R....

    SUN Radio*only in Austin!

  44. r.... ....

    I live in Montreal. Have been a Wy/Judds fan since 1991..Wy came here to Montreal some years back and was the opening act for Michael Bolton, it was THE VOICES tour I believe. Now Montreal is not much of a country music mecca. If you are super famous they know you, like Shania, Garth Brooks, but I doubt most of the audience that night had any clue at all as to who Wynonna was. But she blew them all away, they gave her a standing ovation which for me being a fan was amazing to see and so gracious of the Montreal audience to do. You might be ok and they will applaud you, but to give an opening act they did not know a standing ovation says alot.she is an amazing true talent. THAT VOICE and her amazing personality. -Kirk

  45. R.... ....

    God give me strength plz,I can't go on much longer

  46. D.... ....

    She is a gift.

  77. c.... ....

    Classic Wynonna! THIS is what Country radio needs to play!

    c.... ....

    +ctryfan1980 : i agree with you on that country radio should play this song on the radio!

    c.... ....

    So true. I stopped listening to country radio when they started up with all this "Pop Country" crap cos to me, that's NOT country. If I wanna listen to "Pop" I'll listen to a "Pop" station. But when I wanna listen to COUNTRY that's what a COUNTRY station is for & should be for & if they want me to tune in, had BETTER be for. The one who sickens me the most these days, is that God awful Taylor Swift cos all she ever seems to sing about is her love life on who dumped her or who she dumped. Who cares? That's not country, that's a damn soap opera. You want country, you want great talents like, Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, The Judds, Waylon Jennings, & talents like that. And while I'm all for artist branching out to wider fan base, if they wanna go "Pop" those kinds of songs should be reserved for being played on "Pop" stations, NOT "Country" stations. The DJ's can always let listeners know if an artist has any "Pop" genre stuff out, & then if those who like that stuff wanna listen to it, they can always buy the cd or change stations. I know stations will lose a listener if they do this, but IMO Country is Country & Pop is Pop & no where should the two be combined cos then its not Country or Pop, its just a bunch of crap. But to each their own. And the best way to simply this is, have you ever heard Loretta Lynn on a station that plays Guns N Roses? I rest my case.

    c.... ....

    Problem is that a POP station is now a HIP HOP/RAP CRAP Station. So when I want to listen to some Country Rock I listen to Country who plays some good guitar based music. Lots of the other stuff like Fla/Ga line can go to hell.

  78. R.... F....

    Perfect. Couldnt imagine it any better. thanks Wynonna and Travis Meadows.

    R.... F....

    Didn't know Travis Meadows was on this... he's terrific. I know it featured Jason Isbell.

    R.... F....

    @Catherine Todd Travis wrote it.

  79. K.... T....

    @WynonnaMusic Perfection!!! Another GOOD ONE from the Lyrical Genius of @Travis_Meadows

  80. K.... W....
