Give me a call When yer strung out or when you're bored Been so long and heavy But now you think I'm ready Lean on me, lean on me Give it a try, it won't hurt Leave it with the papers and the capers and the dirt Had a friend who died today Got a long distance call Who knows what or when or how But what I'd do to see his face now Lean on me, lean on me Wham bam, Doug Sahm Get my brains from a garden plant You ain't got the truth in the line Stick with the ones who never Get put out by the fire I never was one for pictures yeah You could hang up on the wall Start 'em up here in my head Wait for them to fall Let's go get wrong, real real gone Raise a toast to the Polaroid ghost And let some water fall You ain't got the truth in the line Stick with the ones who never Get put out by the fire
