Emmylou Harris Hold On Lyrics

Hold On Lyrics

What happened to a mother's love?

What happened to your daddy's pride?

Know you always had enough

Know they were right by your side



Happened to that ball of fire

Got out on that open road

Now nothin' but your own desire

Lighten up this heavy load



Hold on, hold on, hold on



Know you didn't plan for this

But that's the way it always starts

Just lookin' for a little kick

Instead you bought a broken heart



Now you have to build a bridge

Only you can walk across

Wear the truth until it fits

Pay the price and bear the loss



Hold on, hold on, hold on



Once you were a little kid

Working on a great big plan

You threw away the simple joys

Now you have to take a stand



A battle's raging in your head

You wish you didn't have to fight

Just hold onto my hand instead

Another day goes by tonight



What happened to your mother's love?

What happened to your daddy's pride?

Way down deep inside your blood

Help you through this lonely ride



Hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on
