sitting in a door way
head held in his hands
looked to all the world
like he was prayin’ oh nah
foot wrapped in an old rag
bottle in a brown bag
i saw him try to stand
then i heard the words
that he was sayin’
and he said come on carrie

but i know i can make it
if i lean on you so

well he struggled to his feet
and staggered down the street
to the window of the fiveanddime
he stood and laughed a while
at his reflection yeah nah

and then i heard him shoutin’
something about a mountain
he could surely climb
if she was only there to point
the right direction
but she ain’t no
but she ain’t no
he said come on carrie
carry me a little farther
come on carrie
carry me one more mile
i don’t know where it’s leading to
but i know i can make it
if i lean on you
