Emmylou Harris - Hold on Songtext

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
With nothing but your own desires
To lighten up this heavy load?

Hold on (3x)

I know you didn't plan for this
But that's the way it always starts
Just looking for a little kiss
Instead you bought a broken heart

Now you have to build a bridge
That only you can walk across
Wear the tooth until it fits
Pay the price and bear the loss

Hold on (3x)

Once you were a little kid
Working on a great big plan
You threw away the simple joys
Now you have to take a stand

The battle's raging in your head
You wish you didn't have to fight
Just hold on to 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

Hold on (3x)

All I Intended to Be Album
