Hold On by Cottars
Hold On lyrics
They hung a sign in our town:
"If you live it up, you won't live it down"
So she left Mon(t)real, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Oh, the moon was gold, her hair like wind
She said, "Don't look back. Just come on, Jim"
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
Baby gotta' hold on
Take my hand, I'm standin' right here
Gotta' hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone's lookin' for someone to blame
You share my bed, you share my name
Go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said "Baby, I still love you,
But sometimes there's nothin' left to do"
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
Baby gotta' hold on
Take my hand, I'm standin' right here
Gotta' hold on
Well, God bless your crooked little heart
The same one that's got the best of me
I miss your broken China voice
Oh, I wish you were still here with me
Well, you build it up, you break it down
Then you burn your mansion to the ground
Oh, there's nothin' left to keep you here
When you're fallin' behind in the big blue world
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
Baby gotta' hold on
Take my hand, I'm standin' right here
Gotta' hold on
Down by the Riverside Motel
It's 10 below and falling
By a 99-cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Oh, your old hometown is so far away
But inside your head there's a record playin' a song called...
Hold on, hold on
Baby gotta' hold on
Take my hand, I'm standin' right here
Gotta' hold on
Hold on, baby gotta' hold on
Take my hand, I'm standin' right here
Gotta' hold on
You've got to hold on...
