Hold On Lyrics - Singles - Emily Lynch

They hung a sign up in our town 

"if you live it up, you won't live it down" 

So she left Monte Rio son 

Just like a bullet leaves a gun 

With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips 

She went and took that California trip 

Well, the moon was gold and her hair like wind 

She said don't look back just come on Jim 

Ohhh you got to 

Hold on, Hold on 

You gotta hold on 

Take my hand 

I'm standing right here 

You gotta hold on 

He gave her a dime store watch 

And a ring made from a spoon 

Everyone's looking for someone to blame 

But you share my bed and you share my name 

Well go ahead and call the cops 

You won't meet nice girls in coffee shops 

She said baby, I still love you 

But sometimes there's nothin' left to do 

Ohhh well you got to 

Hold on, hold on 

You gotta hold on 

Take my hand 

I'm standing right here 

You gotta hold on 

God bless your crooked little heart 

St. Louis got the best of me 

I miss your broken-china voice 

How I wish you were still here with me 

Well you build it up and you wreck it down 

Then you burn your mansion to the ground 

When there's nothing left to keep you here 

When you're falling behind in this big blue world 

Ohhh well you got to 

Hold on, hold on 

Baby gotta hold on 

Take my hand 

I'm standing right here 

You gotta hold on 

Down by the Riverside motel 

It's ten below and falling 

By a ninety-nine cent store 

She closed her eyes and started swaying 

Well it's so hard to dance that way 

When it's cold and there's no music 

When your old hometown is so far away 

But inside your head there's a record that's playin' a song called 

Hold on, hold on 

Baby gotta hold on 

Take my hand 

I'm standing right here 

You gotta hold on 

Oh you gotta hold on, hold on 

Baby gotta hold on 

Take my hand I'm standing right here 

You gotta hold 

Oh take my hand 

I'm standing right here 

You gotta hold on 

You gotta hold on
