Hang On To That

(albüm: Sugarcane - 2021)

I got a Rolling Stones t-shirt dad bought for me at my first rock show
It's worn and torn and frayed, I wear it everywhere I go
I put it on, it takes me back to a lighter in the air, jumping jack flash
You know I can't throw it away, might have a Keith Richards of my own someday
I can hear my old man say

Hang onto that right there, that's one of a kind
Hang onto that, that'll last your whole lifetime
It'll stick with you through the highs and lows, whatever you do, son don't let go
Just hold onto her tight as you can, man
Hang onto that

There she was at the Pac-Man table, Mickey's on the East Side
I sat down and we talked our way all the way to '85
About last call, she got up to leave, wrote down her number on a bar receipt
Said, "Call me sometime boy", I could hear my old man's voice

Hang onto that right there, that's one of a kind
Hang onto that, that'll last your whole lifetime
It'll stick with you through the highs and lows, whatever you do, son don't let go
Just hold onto her tight as you can, yeah man
Hang onto that

Hang on, son
Don't you ever let go

She stole that Rolling Stones t-shirt nut I ain't blue
'Cause every time I see her in it, what else can I do?

Hang onto that
Better believe I'm hanging on, yeah

Hang onto that right there, that's one of a kind
Hang onto that, that'll last your whole lifetime
It'll stick with you through the highs and lows, whatever you do, son don't let go
Just hold onto her tight as you can, yeah man
Hang onto that
Oh, hang onto that

Come on, son
Better believe it
Mmh-hm
