[Verse 1]
I'm to the point where it don't add up
I can't say I've come this far with my guitar on pure dumb luck
That's not to say I know it all
Cause every time I get too high up on my horse I fall

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got
Something lifting me up
Something holding me down
Something to give me wings and
Something to keep my feet on the ground
I've got all I need
Jesus and gravity

[Verse 2]
But I'm as bad as anyone
Taking all these blessings in my life for granted one by one
When I start to thinking it's all me
Well something comes along and knocks me right back on my knees
And I've got

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got
Something lifting me up
Something holding me down
Something to give me wings and
Something to keep my feet on the ground
I've got all I need
Jesus and gravity

[Bridge]
He's my friend
He's my light
He's my wings
He's my flight

[Chorus]
I've got
Something lifting me up
Something holding me down
Something to give me wings
And keep my feet on the ground
I've got all I'm gonna need
I've got Jesus
I've got Jesus
I've got
Something lifting me up
Something holding me down
Something to give me wings
And keep my feet on the ground
I've got all I'll ever need
'Cause I've got Jesus and gravity
I've got
Something lifting me up
Something holding me down
Something to give me wings
And keep my feet on the ground
I've got all I need
'Cause I've got Jesus and gravity

[Outro]
Jesus, I've got Jesus, I've got Jesus
He's my everything
He lifts me up
He gives me wings
He gives me hope
And He gives me strength
And that's all I'll ever need
As long as He keeps lifting me up
He is my life
He is my God
He is my wings
He is my flight
Lift me, I've got Jesus, I've got Jesus
And that's all I need

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
