lyrics

Mama said son Mama said son Everything is a blessing and a curse
Daddy left home Daddy left home He said I’d do it a-gain

Only you and me Only you and me Could flood the sea
Got it figured out I got it figured out And I wrote it all down

Holdin out Holdin out I’m holdin out for better

A beer and a shot A beer and a shot A push and a shove
Drunk and old Drunk and old You never know when you’re gonna go cold

Money chases it’s tail Money chases it’s tail And the circle leads to hell
Can’t complain I can’t complain Oh Lord, oh Lord I still do

Holding out I’m Holdin out Holdin out for better

Change happens slow Change it happens slow And then And then all at once
What-cha gonna do? What-cha gonna do? One life what ya gonna do?

Holdin out Holdin out I’m holdin out better

Holdin out I’m holdin out Holdin out forever
Holdin out Holdin out I’m holdin out forever
