Holdin' On

Out of luck and there’s more bad news
Too broke to even pay my dues
Throwin' pennies in the wishing well
That’s long gone dry
Talked my way out of another job
Told my boss I felt that I’d been robbed
He said, son, you’re gonna learn one day
That nothin' really pays
So now what you gotta say?
Like I been taken for a ride
'Cause I’m too full to swallow my pride
Yeah I do what I can do to keep on…
Holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on and hopin' and prayin'
And holdin' on all day long
Got no paddle in an uphill stream
I spent the evenin' with a broken dream
So I tried to call a few good friends
But no one was around
Never been on to sit and doubt
I picked myself up and I took myself out
Drov around but I got nowhere
I better get myself a beer
'Cause I just wanna see things clear
And I know what would set things right
If I could find a girl to share my night
And I know, oh, it’s true, gotta keep on…
