Hold On - Amber Rubarth

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 her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips

She went and took that California trip

Oh, the moon was gold, her hair like wind

Said, 'Don't look back, just come on, Jim'

Oh, you got to hold on, hold on You gotta hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right here

You gotta hold on Well, he gave her a dimestore watch

And a ring made from a spoon

Everyone’s looking for someone to blame

When you share my bed, you share my name

Well, go ahead and call the cops

You don’t meet nice girls in coffee shops

She said, 'Baby, I still love you'

Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do Oh, you got to hold on, hold on Babe, you gotta hold on And take my hand, I’m standing right here

You gotta hold on Well, 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 Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down

Then you burn your mansion to the ground

Oh, there’s nothing left to keep you here

But when you’re falling behind in this big blue world

Oh, you’ve got to hold on, hold on Babe, you gotta hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right here

You 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’s so far away

But inside your head there’s a record that’s playing

A song called 'Hold On', hold on Babe, you gotta hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right there

You gotta hold on You gotta hold on, hold on Babe, you gotta hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right there

You gotta hold on You gotta hold on, hold on Babe, you gotta hold on And take my hand, I’m standing right here

You gotta hold on You gotta hold on, hold on Babe, you gotta hold on And take my hand, I’m standing right here

You gotta hold on You gotta hold on You gotta hold on You gotta hold on You gotta hold on You gotta hold on, baby

You gotta hold on, girl

You gotta hold on You gotta hold on
