"Hold On" by Tom Waits from the album 'Mule Variations'
Lyrics
They hung a sign up in our town
"if you live it up, you won't
live it down"
So, she left Monte Rio, son
just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
she went and took that California trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
hair like wind
She said don't look back just
come on Jim
(Chorus)
Oh you got to
Hold on, Hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
and a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
but you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
you don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes there's nothin left to do
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you got to
just hold on
Well, God bless your crooked little heart
St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still
here with me
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
you burn your mansion to the ground
When there's nothing left to keep you here, when
you're falling behind in this
big blue world
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You got to hold on
Down by the Riverside motel,
it's 10 below and falling
by a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
and started swaying
but it's so hard to dance that way
when it's cold and there's no music
well your old hometown is so far away
but, inside your head there's a record
that's playing, a song called
Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
and just hold on.

There are so few song writers left. This man is a genius and a bleeding heart. God bless you Tom.
one of the best songs ever brought into existence
When Beth started singing this in the prison, I was moved to tears. RIP Beth, Hersel, and Glen. YOU GOTTA HOLD ON, MAGGIE!
Me too!!
Yeah that show was pretty good for the first few seasons, then it went downhill.
Walking dead
Why?? Did it take an Eternity?? For this raw,honest, Genius to be recognised in The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame??
Songs like this are reason to live. Genius level artistry
This got me through a very dark time in my life when I was getting out of the service years ago. I lost my closet friend in nam as soon as we got over there.. Blown in half in my arms. Still see his face and hear his last words. I worked a number of years until Desert Storm. After all that even with the wife around, I didn't want to live, but I held on..
God Bless you
Thank you for your service Sir. God bless you.
@@ronaldnoble9694Time to stop pretending that being emotionally brutalized and physically destroyed for the utterly superficial goals of nations isn't "service" but a sentence.
You are a hero greetings from the Netherlands Hold on
🤔😔🙄
The sweetness of the song is really exacerbated by the roughness of his voice, just beautiful
i heard this song for the first time on the walking dead and it’s been one of my favorite songs since
I heard.
On the, walking dead too? love it is on my playlist
I dedicate my appreciation of this song to my friend Erycka. Who I hope holds on.

Oh, but you got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on and take my hand
I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Well, God bless your crooked little heart
St. Louis got the best of me
I miss your broken China voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down
Then you burn your mansion to the ground
Oh, there's nothing left to keep you here
But when you're falling behind in this big blue world
Oh, you've got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
Down by the Riverside motel
It's ten below and falling
By a ninety-nine cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Oh, your old hometown's so far away
But inside your head there's a record that's playing
A song called "Hold On", hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, baby
You gotta hold on, girl
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
Source: "Holding On: A Conversation with Tom Waits". Newsweek: Karin Schoemer. March 23, 1999)
- Tom Waits: I thought that was a good thing to say in a song. Hold on. We're all holding onto something. None of us want to come out of the ground. Weeds are holding on. Everything's holding on. I thought that was a real positive thing to say. It was an optimistic song. Take my hand, stand right here, hold on. We wrote that together, Kathleen and I, and that felt good. Two people who are in love writing a song like that about being in love. That was good."
And, to be honest, I hear: 'Take my hand, stand right here, you gotta hold on'.
I don't understand, why everywhere is: I'm standing right here
Yesterday, Silvester 23...24 send to many people around the world. Hold on... that's it... forever 🎶🤗🌎🫶
Peace for whole world and trust together ... please. ❤@@Neytiri...
I love singing Tom Wait’s songs- not everyone knows these beautiful lyrics and I want to sing them as clearly as possible. But God bless Tom - when he dies, he will be St. Tom- of the broken, homeless, the lost and he will guide us all on a path to healing- after shooting us down the rabbit hole out of a cannon first of course though
