When I'm lost and I'm wandering round
And she's sure that I'm headed for fire
I'm on my own damn time
But she shows me how to use it
And when the night time is burning me up
And I'm smoking with my French Quarter girl
I've got my own damn mind
But she shows me how to lose it
We're alright
In fact we're just out of sight
When things get rough
We hold it together
Well I had a real good conversation
Between my woman and the blistering sun
She said "let it go"
You can't hold it forever
And when I'm deep in the canyon of doubt
There ain't nothing I can do to get out
She throws her rope down low
And before I know it, I'm crusin'
And when I'm lonely as the man on the moon
And I could sure use a pick-me-up soon
She gives me love drugs, girl
I just gotta try not to abuse 'em
We're alright
In fact we're just out of sight
When it gets tough
We hold it together
And I had a real nice conversation
Between my girl and my blistering sun
She said "Let it go
You can't hold it forever"
She said "You catch light
You can't hold it forever"
You catch light
Tell me where it goes
You don't know Said, you catch light
