Hold On
Tom Waits
DThey hung a sign up in Gour town
"if you Alive it up, you won't Dlive it down"
DSo, she left Monte GRio, son
Just Alike a bullet Dleaves a gun
With Gcharcoal eyes and AMonroe hips
She went and Dtook that CaliGfornia trip
Well, the Emmoon was gold, her AHair like wind
She said Emdon't look back just ACome on Jim
AOh you got to
DHold on, AHold onD
You got to Ghold on
DTake my hand, I'm Astanding right here
You gotta Dhold on
DWell, he gave her a Gdimestore watch
AAnd a ring made Dfrom a spoon
Everyone is looking for Gsomeone to blame
But you Ashare my bed, you Dshare my name
Well, Ggo ahead and call Athe cops
You don't Dmeet nice girls in Gcoffee shops
EmShe said baby, I Astill love you
SomeEmtimes there's nothin Aleft to do
AOh but you got to
DHold on, Ahold onD
Baby gotto to Ghold on
DTake my hand, I'm Astanding right here, you got to
Just Dhold on.
DWell, God bless your crooked little Gheart
St. ALouis got the Dbest of me
DI miss your broken-Gchina voice
How I Awish you were still Dhere with me
Well, you Gbuild it up, you wreck it Adown
You Dburn your mansion Gto the ground
When there's Emnothing left to Akeep you here, when
You're Emfalling behind in this Abig blue world
AOh you got to
DHold on, AHold onD
Baby gotto Ghold on
DTake my hand, I'm Astanding right here
You gotta Dhold on
DDown by the RiversGide motel,
It's A10 below and Dfalling
DBy a G99 cent store she Aclosed her eyes and Dstarted swaying
But it's Gso hard to Adance that way
When it's Dcold and there's Gno music
Well your Emold hometown is so Afar away
But, insEmide your head there's a Arecord
That's playing, A7a song called
DHold on, Ahold onD
Baby gotto Ghold on
DTake my hand, I'm Astanding right there
You gotta Dhold on
You got to Hold on, AHold onD
Baby gotto Ghold on
DTake my hand, I'm Astanding right here
You gotta Dhold on
