They hung a sign up in our town,
"If you live it up, you won't
live it down."
So, she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Well, the moon was gold,
Her hair like wind
Said don't look back just
Come on Jim
Chorus
Oh you got to
Hold on, Hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
When you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead, call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said, "Baby, I still love you."
Sometimes there's nothin left to do
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing
right here, you got to
Just 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 me
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
And you burn your mansion to the ground
Oh, there's nothing left to
keep you here,
but when you're falling behind
in this big blue world
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You got to hold on
Down by the Riverside Motel,
it's 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Well your old hometown's so far away
But, inside your head there's a record
that's playing, a song called
Hold on, hold on
Baby gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
And just hold on.
