Something's got a hold on me
|
An' it won't let go
|
Ev'ry time I close my eyes
|
I hear a freight train blow
|
My papa was a gamblin' man
|
An' mama tried, tried, tried
|
Ev'rybody's got their thing,
|
I like to ride, ride, ride
|
|
Something's got a hold on me
|
Tuggin' on my heels an' toes
|
Something's got a hold on me
|
An' it won't let go
|
|
Something's got a hold on me
|
And it won't back down
|
Ev'ry time you kiss my lips
|
I hear that highway sound
|
Carolina looks real good
|
If I'm in east St. Paul
|
Oklahoma looks just fine
|
If I'm in Montreal
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Something's got a hold on me
|
An' it calls my shots
|
I don't want your golden rings
|
Or your forget-me-nots
|
I throw out my ramblin' shoes,
|
Can't get a full night's sleep
|
Anything I think I've got
|
I know I just can't keep
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
