In My Time Of Need

will you comfort me in my time of need
can you take away the pain of a hurtful deeds
cause when we need it most there’s no rain at all

and the dust just settles right there on the feed
will you say to me a little rains gonna come
when the sky can’t offer none to me
cause i will come for you
when my days are through

and i’ll let your smile just off and carry me
cause when the calm comes down
i take the truck on into town
and buy whatever we can’t seem to grow
i work these hands to bleed cause i got mouths to feed

and i got 15 dollars hid above the stove
will you say to me a little rains gonna come
when the sky can’t offer none to me
cause i will come for you
when my days are through

and i’ll let your smile just off and carry me
cause it ain’t like it was on back in those days
when everyone would offer up a hand
these old bones are worn
i’ve grown tired some

and i know my time is surely gonna come
will you comfort me in my time of need
can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds
cause i will comfort you when my days are through

and i’ll let your smile just off and carry me
lord we married young and stayed where we came from
and gave those children everything we had
will you stay with me in my time of need

though it seems we had such little time for us
will you say to me a little rains gonna come
when the sky can’t offer none to me
cause i will come for you
when my days are through

and i’ll let your smile just off and carry me
