Holdin' On

Lyrics:

*** this song is like "Our Last Time" part two, but I like the first
      part better 
	  ***

I'm holdin' on
I'm just holdin' on
Hey, hey
Ohhh, holdin' on

I was really wrong
Now she's really gone

I used to hold her
I'm never let her down
When she needed me
I was always around

But hey, that's all over now

I was really wrong
Now she's really gone

When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way     (?)          *** Wicked water = alcohol, or "being drunk and tempted" as Dennis puts it! ***
Day turned into night
Night turned into day

And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"

I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night                  *** Thanks to several people for the correction! ***

Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room 
Just holdin' on

Just holdin' on

(Guitar solo)

Ohhh, When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way     (?)          *** Wicked water is very clever, isn't it? ***
Day turned into night
Night turned into day

And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"

I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night                  *** Again, thanks for the correction, people! ***

Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room 
Just holdin' on

Just holdin' on

(Some strange noise by Robert!)

(Dynamite guitar outro!)
