Emmylou Harris - Hold On lyrics

rate me

What happened to your mother's love

What happened to your daddy's pride

I know you always had enough

I know they were right by your side

What happened to that ball of fire

When you got out on that open road

Now nothing but your own desire

Will lighten up that heavy load

Hold on...

I know you didn't plan for this

But that's the way it always starts

Just lookin' for a little kick

Instead you bought a broken heart

And now you've got to build a bridge

That only you can walk across

Wear the truth until it fits

Pay the price and bear the loss

Hold on...

Once you were a little boy

Working on a great big plan

You threw away the simple joys

And now you've got to be a man

A battle's raging in your head

You wish you didn't have to fight

Just hold onto my hand instead

Another day goes by tonight

What happened to your mother's love

What happened to your daddy's pride

They're way down deep inside your blood

To help you through this lonely ride

Hold on...
