When I'm in trouble

You stand by me


When I see double


You stand by me

You take my side


Against those who lied


You take my side

Gimme back my pride





When I been losing

You stand by me


When I been boozin'


You stand by me

You take my side


Against those who lied


You take my side

Gimme back my pride





I suppose I could make it all my own

I know I'd arrive all skin and all bone


You are the strongest back I've ever known


You carried me, carried me, carried me

You carried me home





When I'm crying

You stand by me


When I am dying


You stand by me
