I know I shouldn't,
Hold on to grudges,
But sometimes I still do
I know I shouldn't,
Hold on to these cigarettes,
But when I'm drinkin' I still do
I've got a long list of vices,
With a hold on me
But my hold keeps on tightenin',
On what I really need, like
Daddy's words and momma's hands,
True friends who really know who I am
Things in life have still got left to prove
Real good times, real good love, real strong faith in the god above I-
Got a grip on the things I can't afford to lose
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
I hold on to my past, and I
Don't mean to hurt you,
But sometimes I still do
And sometimes I hold out, like
I don't need you,
But we both know that ain't true
I've got a long list of heartaches,
With a hold on me
But I'll be fightin' till my last day,
For what I believe, like
Daddy's words and momma's hands,
True friends who really know who I am
Things in life have still got left to prove
Real good times, real good love, real strong faith in the god above I-
Got a grip on the things I can't afford to lose
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
I've got a long list of vices,
With a hold on me
But I'll be fighting till my last day,
For what I believe, like
Daddy's words and momma's hands,
True friends who really know who I am
Things in life have still got left to prove
Real good times, real good love,
Real strong faith in the god above I -
Got a grip on the things I can't afford to lose
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
I'll keep
Holdin' on, Holdin' on, Holdin' on to you
