Hold On To You

I been down

I been low

Seen the small end of a gun

I damn near died out in the snow

I been high

Once or twice I do suppose

Felt the oceans of the world

Soothe the aches out of my bones

One thing I can’t do

One thing I can’t do

One thing I can’t do

Even if you ask me to

Is hold on to you

I been broke

Clean broke

On the sand down in Oaxaca

‘Neath the bright desert sky

I won fights

And I lost fights

But the bigger they come the harder they fall

And I’ll cross my t’s and dot my i’s

One thing I can’t do

One thing I can’t do

One thing I can’t do

Even if you ask me to

Is hold on to you

One thing I can’t do

One thing I can’t do

One thing I can’t do

Even if you ask me to

Is hold on to you
