I'd like a little something to go a long way
I'd like a little something to hold onto in the day
When people get so pushy they try to pull you every which way, which way
I'd like a little something to go a long way
I put my faith in people but they just don't last
Disappointment drove me down to drinking and driving 'way too fast
Lord, I need a tower - build it on Your truth, on Your truth
I'd like a little something to cure me of my youth
Sometimes I'm foolish and I don't even try
Still I'm hoping to be ready by the time it comes to die
So, Lord, when they turn off the neon I still want to Your light,
c'mon and show me Your light
I'd like a little something to keep me alright-
