Hold on mama, don't make no plans
You might be wasting your time
And though I know you've been good to me
There's lots of places I gotta see
Hold on, can't let myself get started
I'll end up broken-hearted
I'll say hello and then I'll blow
Hold on
Hold on mama, don't count me in
I can't count on myself
I feel those ropes start taking hold
I know it's time I hit that road
Hold on, can't let myself get started
I'll end up broken-hearted
I'll say hello and then I'll blow
Hold on
Hold on mama, don't make no plans
You might be wasting your time
And though I know you've been good to me
There's lots of places I gotta see
Hold on, can't let myself get started
I'll end up broken-hearted
I'll say hello and then I'll blow
