Been on Your Side

Who was the one who bailed you out When the water came rushing into your boat Who was the one who gave you his coat When you forgot yours and you almost died I've always been on your side When the whole world got turned against you I still fought for you nail and tooth I always knew you were telling the truth When everyone else was convinced that you'd lied I've always been on your side When there was nobody else you could call When the bottom fell out like a big trap door I gave you my bed and I slept on the floor And I held you out as you shook and cried I've always been on your side And when you were broke I lent you the money To get your feet back up on the ground For a little while you didn't come around Even when I wrote you never replied I've always been on your side I gave all that I had to give And never asked anything in return I was a bridge that you couldn't burn Heaven knows how hard you turn But i've always been on your side
