Something Stronger Than Me
Travis Tritt · The Storm [2007]
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...
