I Can't Stand Up Alone Songtext
von Jesse Winchester

One of these days I′m gonna take a vacation
By a quiet and a peaceful shore
And I'll cool my feet in those crystal waters
And I won′t have to work anymore.

'Cause my burden has got so heavy
Til I can't stand up alone
I must lay my head down on one strong shoulder
′Cause I can′t stand up alone.

Ah, you can't stand up all by yourself
You can′t stand up alone
You need the touch of a mighty hand
You can't stand up alone.


And trouble, I have seen trouble
All around my door
Go away and leave me old man trouble
′Cause I don't want your trouble no more.

Ah, you can′t stand up all by yourself
You can't stand up alone
You need the touch of a mighty hand
You can't stand up alone.

And a voice came down just like thunder
And light all around me shown
The voice said: ′Jesse, get up′
'And grab hold of my hand ′cause you can't stand up all alone′.

Ah, you can't stand up all by yourself
You can′t stand up alone
You need the touch of a mighty hand
You can't stand up alone.
