Something To Hold On To

(album: A Long Way From Your Heart - 2017)

Won't you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride

You come smiling through the doorway looking like an old regret
Still a whole lot better than you did last time we met
Between a real hard spot and a hole in a concrete wall
Running out of highway looking for a place to fall

Won't you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride
Pick me up and learn me
Turn me down and burn me
Darling won't you give me
Give me one last try

Well to tell you true I never thought we'd be here again
Gonna feel alright now darling for the shape I'm in
Nearly fell to pieces just thinking it would all fall through
Feeling like somebody when you finally came into view

Darling won't you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride
Pick me up and learn me
Turn me down and burn me
Darling won't you give me
Give me one last try

Now I won't say it all worked out like I planned
Lucky I still got a leg on which to stand
I had a half of mind to get gone
Leave it a little try to move on
But I just sat there staring at the secondhand
On the barroom wall now

Darling won't you give me something
Something to hold on to
This whole world has taken
Taken me for a ride
Pick me up and learn me
Turn me down and burn me
Darling won't you give me
Give me one last try
Try
