What happened to your mother's love
|
What happened to your daddy's pride
|
I know you always had enough
|
I know they were right by your side
|
|
What happened to that ball of fire
|
When you got out on that open road
|
Now nothing but your own desire
|
Will lighten up that heavy load
|
|
Hold on...
|
|
I 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
|
|
And now you've got to build a bridge
|
That only you can walk across
|
Wear the truth until it fits
|
Pay the price and bear the loss
|
|
Hold on...
|
|
Once you were a little boy
|
Working on a great big plan
|
You threw away the simple joys
|
And now you've got to be a man
|
|
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
|
They're way down deep inside your blood
|
To help you through this lonely ride
|
|
Hold on...
|

Hold On
