Hold On Lyrics

Her mama was a good girl
But she got mixed up in the wrong world
And Marianne was in a bad dream
'Cause her old man, he liked the cocaine'Cause she grew up on her own luck
And once you start you never can stop
And she met Johnny in a good dream
And he said, 'Baby, just hold on to me'He said, 'Hold on, baby, just hold on
And if you hold me we'll make it through
'Cause I'm holding on to you'And Marianne said she'll get clean
And she'd quit stripping out the Silver Rain
So they found a nice duplex
But then she started cashing Johnny's checks
So they were either fighting or loving
And Marianne, she started using again
So Johnny said, 'I gotta get free'
She said, 'No, baby, please, please, please, hold on to me''Hold on, baby, just hold on
And if you hold me we'll make it through
'Cause I'm holding on to you'She said, 'Johnny, I though you really, really love me

I thought you were gonna save me
Don't you wanna give it all, I wanna give it awayShe said, she said, 'Oh, oh, oh'When Johnny came home
Marianne was on the floor
And she was bleeding out her nose
He started screaming, 'No, no!'
So we called the MT
And they rushed down main street
He screamed, 'Hold on, baby, hold on
You gotta hold on!''Hold on, baby, just hold on
And if you hold me we'll make it through
'Cause I'm holding on to you'He said, 'Hold on, baby, just hold on
And if you hold me we'll make it through
'Cause I'm holding on to you''Hold on, baby, just hold on
And if you hold me we'll make it through
'Cause I'm holding on to you'
