They hung a sign up in out town
2
"if you live it up, you won't
3
live it down"
4
So, she left Monte Rio, son
5
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
6
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
7
She went and took that California trip
8
Well, the moon was gold, her
9
Hair like wind
10
She said don't look back just
11
Come on Jim
12
(Chorus)
13
Oh you got to
14
Hold on, Hold on
15
You got to hold on
16
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
17
You gotta hold on
18
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
19
And a ring made from a spoon
20
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
21
But you share my bed, you share my name
22
Well, go ahead and call the cops
23
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
24
She said baby, I still love you
25
Sometimes there's nothin left to do
26
Oh you got to
27
Hold on, hold on
28
You got to hold on
29
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you got to
30
Just hold on.
31
Well, God bless your crooked little heart St. Louis got the best of me
32
I miss your broken-china voice
33
How I wish you were still here with me
34
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
35
You burn your mansion to the ground
36
When there's nothing left to keep you here, when
37
You're falling behind in this
38
Big blue world
39
Oh you go to
40
Hold on, hold on
41
You got to hold on
42
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
43
You got to hold on
44
Down by the Riverside motel,
45
It's 10 below and falling
46
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
47
And started swaying
48
But it's so hard to dance that way
49
When it's cold and there's no music
50
Well your old hometown is so far away
51
But, inside your head there's a record
52
That's playing, a song called
53
Hold on, hold on
54
You really got to hold on
55
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
56
And just hold on.
