Something's Got A Hold On Me Lyrics - Singles - Steve Forbert

Something's got a hold on me 

An' it won't let go 

Ev'ry time I close my eyes 

I hear a freight train blow 

My papa was a gamblin' man 

An' mama tried, tried, tried 

Ev'rybody's got their thing, 

I like to ride, ride, ride 

Something's got a hold on me 

Tuggin' on my heels an' toes 

Something's got a hold on me 

An' it won't let go 

Something's got a hold on me 

And it won't back down 

Ev'ry time you kiss my lips 

I hear that highway sound 

Carolina looks real good 

If I'm in east St. Paul 

Oklahoma looks just fine 

If I'm in Montreal 

Repeat Chorus 

Something's got a hold on me 

An' it calls my shots 

I don't want your golden rings 

Or your forget-me-nots 

I throw out my ramblin' shoes, 

Can't get a full night's sleep 

Anything I think I got 

I know I just can't keep 

Repeat Chorus
