You Gotta Hold On Lyrics
I think of all those girls that we never kissed
He had a hole in his heart the size of a fist
He could not wait to get out of this one-horse town
But now he never getting back no way no how
He said it all works out at the end of the road
Well I'm not so sure I don't right know
Yeah
You gotta hold on
Find the tie that binds
You gotta hold on
Lean into the fight
When the dog barks
And the bee stings
And you don't have to feel a thing
He said it feels like I'm living in a yellow submarine
Don't want to wander alone in this heart of a dream
I wanna live in the weeds and the wilderness
I want a pretty little girl in a summer dress
I kept my hand on the plough
And my foot on the spade
But I'm too far gone I'm too far away
Come on
You gotta hold on
Find the tie that binds
You gotta hold on
Lean into the fight
When the dog barks
And the bee stings
And you don't have to feel a thing
I had a tune in my head
Down the mountainside
Tis you Tis you must go
I must bide
He could not wait to get out of this dead-end town
Now he never getting back no way no how
He said I'll see you again around some bend
Yeah well I don't know where and I don't know when
You gotta hold on find the ties that bind
You gotta hold on you got a hurricane in your eye
When the dog barks
And the bee stings
And you don't have to feel a thing
Driving with a flat down a one-way street
Shaking like a leaf in an autumn breeze
He had a hole in his heart the size of a fist
He could not wait to get out of this one-horse town
But now he never getting back no way no how
He said it all works out at the end of the road
Well I'm not so sure I don't right know
You gotta hold on
Find the tie that binds
You gotta hold on
Lean into the fight
And the bee stings
And you don't have to feel a thing
He said it feels like I'm living in a yellow submarine
Don't want to wander alone in this heart of a dream
I wanna live in the weeds and the wilderness
I want a pretty little girl in a summer dress
I kept my hand on the plough
And my foot on the spade
But I'm too far gone I'm too far away
You gotta hold on
Find the tie that binds
You gotta hold on
Lean into the fight
And the bee stings
And you don't have to feel a thing
Down the mountainside
Tis you Tis you must go
I must bide
He could not wait to get out of this dead-end town
Now he never getting back no way no how
He said I'll see you again around some bend
Yeah well I don't know where and I don't know when
You gotta hold on you got a hurricane in your eye
And the bee stings
And you don't have to feel a thing
Shaking like a leaf in an autumn breeze
This song is inspired by a friend of the artist, Danny who, unfortunately, took his own life a few years ago. Danny was a larger-than-life character with a twinkle in his eye, always up to no good. He was half Irish and half German and he used to say, he "drank with precision!"Sadly he just couldn't picture a future and decided to check out. Sometimes the artist wishes he had told him he wasn't alone.
