Holdin' It Down

I held it all together, heavy on my mind I held it all together but I left it all behind I didn't see you coming, coming down the line Traffic in the atmosphere, salt inside your smile Lessons I'm unlearning, back and forth in time Coming up all rocky and opening in my mind I have been holding down long as I can remember You know the only thing I have depended upon has been me Oh well, but I'd like to rest on the shore Before I go back and do more And I'm taking a plane and a car straight to your door The sap it runs in springtime The thaw begins at night My hips are moving forward I come from a mellow line Reckless deep abandon Streets that open wide I thought I wasn't ready I was ready all the time I have been holding down long as I can remember You know the only thing I have depended upon has been me Oh well, but I'd like to rest on the shore Before I go back and do more And I'm taking a plane and a car straight to your door Some folks live for money Some folks want their time I just like to spend my days Seeking the divine, the divine I have been holding down long as I can remember You know the only thing I have depended upon has been me Oh hoh, but I'd like to live in your mind You're the intelligent kind And I'm taking a plane and a car straight to your door I have been holding down long as I can remember You know the only thing I have depended upon has been me Oh well, but I'd like to rest on the shore Before I go back and do more And I'm taking a plane and a car straight to your door
