I couldn't slow down, I was moving too fast
In the home stretch, running out of gas
I could smell hell's fire racing down the wire
Mowin' down a road sign, weavin' 'cross the white line
I was ten miles shy of kingdom come
You kept me cool when I was under the gun
If I'd done a bad thing that I could not undo
I could always count on you
I could count on you
I could count on you
I could always count on you
One man's demon is another man's friend
One man's beginning is another man's end
But in my darkest night you were a tranquil light
You showed me the right way, brought me a new day
I could turn to you when I’d lost my place
Trapped inside, just drifting in space
You towed me in and pulled me through
I could always count on you
I could count on you
I could count on you
I could always count on you
My strength was gone, my will was weak
Limbs wouldn't move, I could barely speak
I heard the night bird [shriek]
I could count on you when the sun went down
In the silence when there was noone around
You took hold of my hand when I needed a clue
I could always count on you
My head won't hear what my heart can't say
You know they've tried so hard just to meet halfway
So when you came to mind, as you always do,
I knew I could count on you
I could count on you
I could count on you
I could always count on you
