| I wanna hold your hand
|
| Let me take you to the place where the devil stands
|
| I wanna hold your hand
|
| life’s too short now baby let’s enjoy it while we can
|
| I met an old farmer in a bar one night
|
| He told me a story and it blew my mind
|
| so stand stil and listen before i forget
|
| The tale about a man that never rests
|
| On a monday morning while it was feeling warm
|
| I was riding my horse in a lightning storm
|
| When the thunder fell well it hit me hard
|
| and it struck me right across of my heart
|
| I woke up thinking that i was dead
|
| but the discharge cursed my soul instead
|
| and that night when i went to bed
|
| this catchy chorus came in my head
|
| I wanna hold your hand
|
| Let me take you to the place where the devil stands
|
| I wanna hold your hand
|
| life’s too short now baby let’s enjoy it while we can
|
| Well I didn’t get much sleep at all that night
|
| for the voices kept on calling me inside
|
| when the morning came and they were calling no more
|
| well i headed to the liquor store
|
| i figured if i’d drink well they would leave
|
| but the voices had tricks way up their sleeves
|
| cause when the booze made me close my eyes
|
| that song came right back in my mind
|
| I wanna hold your hand
|
| Let me take you to the place where the devil stands
|
| I wanna hold your hand
|
| life’s too short now baby let’s enjoy it while we can
|
| Well the very next day i woke up in jail
|
| my mind it was gone and my skin it was pale
|
| and when i asked the cops why i was being detained
|
| they said «for buying a big bag of cocain»
|
| Well that didn’t seemed like me at all
|
| if must of been the abuse of alcohol
|
| Maybe it was just my old friend
|
| coming on up and singing again
|
| I wanna hold your hand
|
| Let me take you to the place where the devil stands
|
| I wanna hold your hand
|
| life’s too short now baby let’s enjoy it while we can
|
| every single night till this very day
|
| i just wish those voices would go away
|
| i just wish this curse could disappear
|
| So i could sit out here and drink my beer
|
| and everytime a storm comes on by
|
| I grab my horse and we head outside
|
| I ride and prey for the lighting to fall
|
| and shut them voices once and for all |
