Emmylou Harris
Hold On
[Verse]
What happened to your mother's love?
What happened to your daddy's pride?
You know you always had enough
You 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 desires
Will lighten up this heavy load

[Chorus]
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

[Verse]
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 have to build a bridge
That only you can walk across
Wear the truth until it fits
Pay the price and bear the loss
[Chorus]
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

[Verse]
Once you were a little kid
Working on a great big plan
You threw away the simple joys
And 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?
They're way down deep inside your blood
To help you through this lonely ride

[Chorus]
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
