| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| And if you choose to leave me, girl, I’ll understand
|

|
| Just like the Mississippi
|
| Our journey starts in Minnesota
|
| Take I-35 to 90
|
| Soon, through South Dakota
|
| Big «Hi,"to that country road.
|
| Are we gonna make it on down?
|
| She said, «Yeah, Tim.
|
| Aw, Good to see ya.
|
| Hope you all stick around.»
|
| The futures not the hardest to see.
|
| Do what you do girl,
|
| But please don’t leave.
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| And if you choose to leave me, girl, I’ll understand
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| Get down when I wanna, man.
|
| Get through the darkest night.
|
| We were born to ride, now baby,
|
| Ride until the morning light
|
| Took a trip down to Kansas,
|
| Missouri, then Arkansas.
|
| Stayed with her sister,
|
| That girl’s above the law.
|
| The futures not the hardest to see.
|
| Do what you do girl,
|
| But please don’t leave.
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| And if you choose to leave me, girl, I’ll understand
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| It’s a mad house, baby.
|
| Fast women, cocaine, and booze.
|
| Toughest of the roughest, (right)
|
| I got nothing to loose.
|
| Before I met ya,
|
| Everything was going wrong.
|
| It been a long journey, now
|
| Girl I wanna take you home.
|
| The futures not the hardest to see.
|
| Do what you do girl,
|
| But please don’t leave.
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
|
| And if you choose to leave me, girl, I’ll understand
|
| I’m gonna hold on to you as long as I can. |
