Back To Back

When the call hasn't come

Let me sit with you and wait

When the other kind does

Let me help you bear the weight

Let me gather wood, when the fire's gone out

Let me pray for you, when you're filled with doubt

Hold your white-knuckled hands when our daughter's out too late

Let me be the one

That's walking with you through the night

When the morning comes

With its brash and blinding light

Let me be the one

That's crawling with you through the thorns

Back to back, we both were born to share this fight

When you haven't got no sleep

Let me fix you a cup of joe

Let me soak your shirt in tears

When the tumor starts to grow

Let me rub your back when the children whine

Let me push your cart through the five and dime

Help you hobble down the hall with your IV line in tow

Let me be the one

That's walking with you through the night

When the morning comes

With its brash and blinding light

Let me be the one

That's crawling with you through the thorns

Back to back, we both were born to share this fight

There's no one I'd rather walk with

Through the briar or the graves

Let me hold you in the darkness

In the fire, in the rain

Let me be the one

That's walking with you through the night

When the morning comes

With its brash and blinding light

Let me be the one

That's crawling with you through the thorns

Back to back, we both were born to share this fight

Back to back, we both were born to share this fight

Back to back, we both were born to share this fight
