Bill Withers' childhood in the coal mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia, was the inspiration for "Lean on Me", which he wrote after he had moved to Los Angeles and found himself missing the strong community ethic of his hometown. He had lived in a decrepit house in the poor section of his town.

Hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmmHmm-hmm-hmm-hmmHmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmmSometimes in our livesWe all have painWe all have sorrow
But if we are wiseWe know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on meWhen you're not strongAnd I'll be your friendI'll help you carry on...
For it won't be longTill I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your prideIf I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fillThose of your needs that you won't let show
You just call on me brother when you need a handWe all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understandWe all need somebody to lean on
Lean on meWhen you're not strongAnd I'll be your friendI'll help you carry on...
