Shawn Colvin - Hold On lyrics

They put a sign up in our town "If you live it up, you'll live it down" She left Monte Rio, son Just like a bullet leaves a gun With her charcoal eyes and her Monroe hips She went and took that California trip Well, the moon was gold, her hair like wind She said, don't look back, you just come on, Jim Oh, you got to hold on, hold on Babe, you got to hold on Take my hand Standin' right here, you got to hold Well, he gave her a dimestore watch And a ring made from a spoon Everybody's lookin' for someone to blame But you share my bed, you share my na Well, go ahead and call the cops You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops She said, "Baby, I still love you But sometimes there's nothin' left to do" Oh, but... you got to hold on, hold on Babe, you got to hold on Take my hand, standin' right here You got to 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 But you build it up, you wreck it down You burn your mansion to the ground When there's nothing left to keep you here When you're falling behind in this big blue world Oh, you got to hold on, hold on Babe, you got to hold on Take my hand, standin' right here You got to hold on. Down by the Riverside Motel It's ten below and falling. By a 99-cent store She closed her eyes and started swaying It's so hard to dance that way When it's cold and there's no music And your old hometown's so far away But inside your head there's a record playin' A song called... Hold on, hold on Babe, you got to hold on Take my hand, standin' right here You got to hold on You got to hold on, hold on Babe, you got to hold on Take my hand, standin' right here You got to hold You've... got to hold on, hold on Babe, you got to hold on Take my hand, standin' right here You got to hold on.
