Well don’t you count on me when the river is dry.
Don’t you count on me when the sun don’t shine,
But you can count on me, you can count on me tonight.

Well don’t you scream my name, when the lights go out.
Don’t you grab my hand when you’re ’bout to drown,
But you can count on me, you can count on me tonight.

Ain’t no excuses I will buy. My faith is giving out.
Ain’t no need to apologize so just leave me alone.

Well don’t you come for help when the money’s all gone.
Don’t ring my bell when you can’t make it home,
But you can count on me, you can count on me tonight.

Well don’t you read my mail when you cannot sleep.
I won’t tell you no tales when you cannot dream,
But you can count on me, you can count on me tonight.

Ain’t no excuses I will buy. My faith is giving out.
Ain’t no need to apologize so just leave me alone.

Well don’t you drive my car when you’re running out.
Don’t you call my bank when your deal goes down,
But you can count on me, you can count on me tonight.

Well don’t you play my game when the thrill is gone.
Don’t you sing my song when you’re getting bored,
But you can count on me, you can count on me tonight.
