lyrics

There's something about your touch that puts me at ease
So if you were thinking of leaving, don't tell me so
There's something about the way you feel, that makes me feel right
As desperation rolls over me, I never want to let go

It's not up to me
I wish you could see
That you are the reason I'm standing

Let me hold on
When there's nothing left for me to bring down.
Let me hold on
When there's no chance that I'll win the fight.
These times are tough, hey they'll only get tougher
My greatest test is ahead
When everything's wrong
Won't you let me hold on?

Now there's drinking to do at the bar, where everyone knows me
The bartender pours me a drink as I walk through the door
I listen to everyone talk 'bout when things will turn 'round
But I don't say a word, disappointment can't hurt me no more

I got here at eight
And it's getting late
But closing time always comes early

Let me hold on
When there's nothing left for me to bring down.
Let me hold on
When there's no chance that I'll win the fight.
Whiskey will tell me that one day I'll wake up
And my life will sing like a song
But when it's gone
Won't you let me hold on?

After moving to Nashville in the late 1990s, he became disillusioned with the music business. It took getting in touch with the less polished side of country music to gain inspiration. ... more
