I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
And if ya' choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
Just like the Mississippi
Our journey starts in Minnesota
Take I-35 to 90
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Big "Hi," to that country road
Are we gonna make it on down?
She said, "Yeah, Tim
Aw, Good to see ya, man
Hope y'all stay around"
The future's not ours to see
Do what you do girl
But please don't leave
(Chorus)
Get down where I wanna be
Ya' do the darkest night
We were born to ride, now baby
Ride 'til the mornin' light
Took a trip down to Kansas
Missouri, then Arkansas
Stayed with her sister
That girl's above the law
(Climb)
(Chorus)
It's a mad house, baby
Fast women, c**aine, and booze
The toughest of the roughest, (right)
I got nuttin' to lose
Before I met ya'
Everything was going wrong
It's been a long journey, now
Girl I wanna take you home
(Climb)
(Chorus)
