Lean on me tonight Lyrics

Found her crying on a Nashville street

Mascara running, boots scuffed on her feet

A broken heart in her trembling hand

Said, "He left me for another, I just don't understand

I offered her a hand, said, "Ma'am, are you okay?

She looked up at me and wiped her tears away

Sometimes the wrong one makes you feel so small

But darlin', the right one can heal it all

Lean on me tonight, let the whiskey ease your pain

Underneath this Tennessee moon, we'll dance through the rain

Life's too short to be caught in his lies

I'll show you love through these honest eyes

Take my hand, let's make it right

Darlin', lean on me tonight

She said, "I gave him everything, and still he walked away

Now I'm lost in this town, in a love that's gone astray

I said, "Girl, you're stronger than you know

Sometimes a broken heart's where the real love grows

Poured her a drink and said, Here's the truth:

There's a man who'd move mountains just to get close to you

She smiled through her tears, and I caught her glance

Thought maybe tonight was the start of a chance

Lean on me tonight, let the whiskey ease your pain

Underneath this Tennessee moon, we'll dance through the rain

Life's too short to be caught in his lies

I'll show you love through these honest eyes

Take my hand, let's make it right

Darlin', lean on me tonight

Said, Love's like the stars—sometimes it fades

But the right one will shine and never betray

You don't need a man to complete your worth

But if you're ready to try, I'll show you first

She laughed soft and said, "Maybe you're right

Maybe I'll take that chance tonight
