"Helping Hand" lyrics
Yelawolf & J. Michael Phillips Lyrics
I'm not the same old me that I used to be
I done fell off the branches a long time ago from my family tree
Took that turn down the road never looking back
Gave it all gave it all
And I ran just as far as the eye could see
There's no going home, for an empty man
It's all that I know, don't you understand
My whole life's in a suit case
I never unpacked
Back on the road, just as soon as I get back
Hours like minutes, man, days by the months
And years after years, after years, after years!
Just a memory... just a memory
So will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
Will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
Can ya help me man
That's how life works
To make it to this moment
Ain't no light work
Swear to God
You gotta fight first
And know it in your heart
And don't be discouraged
When it all falls apart
Nothing worth having ever comes easy
And I've given everything believe me
Just to get it all back
Sometimes it was all bad
And I ain't never been
Afraid to fall
I'm 'a risk it all
Even when my back against the wall
I do this for y'all
So maybe you might never lose hope
Holding on never letting go
And even when they thought that I would fail
In and outta jail
I knew one day I would make it out
And I would give 'em hell
I promise this a story they gon' tell
On my soul been a lonely road
So will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
Will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
Can ya help me man
You said it was love, but I didn't feel it
Stuck in this lonely house, like two lost souls
Now this home's an abandoned building
On my back, holding up the ceiling
On my own, holding up the children
Down and broken, it's barely healing
Too much of this, it's gonna kill him
Gotta high pay for a hard days work
Sometimes I need to be put first
That's not selfish, that's called helping
Only a friend can feel those words
Only the real fans feel my heart
So I hit the road to get out of the dark
Yeah hold me down
Catch your falling stars
So will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
Will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
I done fell off the branches a long time ago from my family tree
Took that turn down the road never looking back
Gave it all gave it all
And I ran just as far as the eye could see
There's no going home, for an empty man
It's all that I know, don't you understand
My whole life's in a suit case
I never unpacked
Back on the road, just as soon as I get back
Hours like minutes, man, days by the months
And years after years, after years, after years!
Just a memory... just a memory
So will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
Will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
Can ya help me man
That's how life works
To make it to this moment
Ain't no light work
Swear to God
You gotta fight first
And know it in your heart
And don't be discouraged
When it all falls apart
Nothing worth having ever comes easy
And I've given everything believe me

When I'm feeling helpless man
Will you be there
When I need a friend?
Wanna hold out a helping hand
When I'm feeling helpless man
