Hold On (Dear Life)
I'm out here working
Sell a piece of my soul every day
Just to come home
To more bills than my check can pay
But I'm happy
I got my chest out and my chin held high
When I'm hanging on by a thread
I'll tie a knot at the end
And hold on for dear life
I got a woman
She loves me even when I'm wrong
Ain't always easy
We got days we don't get along
The hills and valleys
The lowest lows and the highest highs
When I'm hanging on by a thread
I tie a knot at the end
And hold on for dear life
When the days get longer
And the nights feel colder
And the pressure cuts like a knife
My prayers get stronger
Going up to the Father
He says keep holding tight
So I hold on for dear life
I've got two boys
Turning out better than my old man's son
Wanna give 'em the whole world
But I can only give 'em so much
Ain't nothing magic
Just a hand they can hold and some free advice
When I'm hanging on by a thread
I tie a knot at the end
And hold on for dear life
When the days get longer
And the nights feel colder
And the pressure cuts like a knife
My prayers get stronger
Going up to the father
He says keep holding tight
So I hold on for dear life
Hold on for dear life
Hold on for dear life
Hold on for dear life
I'm out here working
Sell a piece of my soul every day
Sell a piece of my soul every day
Just to come home
To more bills than my check can pay
But I'm happy
I got my chest out and my chin held high
When I'm hanging on by a thread
I'll tie a knot at the end
And hold on for dear life
I got a woman
She loves me even when I'm wrong
Ain't always easy
We got days we don't get along
The hills and valleys
The lowest lows and the highest highs
When I'm hanging on by a thread
I tie a knot at the end
And hold on for dear life
When the days get longer
And the nights feel colder
And the pressure cuts like a knife
My prayers get stronger
Going up to the Father
He says keep holding tight
So I hold on for dear life
I've got two boys
Turning out better than my old man's son
Wanna give 'em the whole world
But I can only give 'em so much
Ain't nothing magic
Just a hand they can hold and some free advice
When I'm hanging on by a thread
I tie a knot at the end
And hold on for dear life
When the days get longer
And the nights feel colder
And the pressure cuts like a knife
My prayers get stronger
Going up to the father
He says keep holding tight
So I hold on for dear life
Hold on for dear life
Hold on for dear life
Hold on for dear life
I'm out here working
Sell a piece of my soul every day
