Something Stronger Than Me

Travis Tritt · The Storm [2007]

(Bon Poythress, Donnie Skaggs, Michele Little)



Mmmh hmmmm.



I always took pride standing on my own two feet

I never leaned on anyone but me

And I'm not braggin' but there's been times

Where I've looked the devil in the eye and never blinked

But tonight, yeah tonight.



Chorus:

I need somethin' stronger than I've got to offer

Don't know if I've ever felt this weak

If I'm gonna make it without breakin' down on this dead end street

I need somethin' stronger than me.



I'm not much for drinking

But if it stops the ache in my heart

I'll try and drown it 'til the morning comes

And I'll try praying

God I'll trying anything and everything I can

To keep from giving up

'Cause I know, Lord I know.



Chorus:

I need somethin' stronger than I've got to offer

Don't know if I've ever felt this weak

If I'm gonna make it without breakin' down on this dead end street

I need somethin' stronger than me

Oh, I need something'.



Everything in me wants to pick up that telephone

Even though I know it's wrong.



Chorus:

I need somethin' stronger than I've got to offer

Don't know if I've ever felt this weak

If I'm gonna make it without breakin' down on this dead end street

I need somethin' stronger than me

Somethin' stronger oh oh oh



Mmmmmh hmmm hmmm...
