about

Dean:
"My friend Joshua Britt and I were on our way out to Hendersonville, Tennessee. We were stopped near the entrance to the freeway and I noticed this homeless guy. He was holding up a sign that read ‘Anything Helps’. It got stuck in my mind and when I got back to Nashville I told Will about it. We wrote this one together in his little studio"

lyrics

Every day I stand in line
At the mission
Everyday come rain or shine
I’ll be there

It’s not always been like this
Took a swing at life and missed
So if you’re feeling kind

Anything helps

Everybody has a home
Mine’s out there somewhere
I wish I could go back
To meet myself

If I could just unclench this fist
Close my eyes and make a wish
On my list there’s just this bucket

Anything helps
When you have nothing
Anything helps
When you’re on your own

Don’t feel sorry for my lot
I give thanks for what I’ve got
So if you’re feeling kind
