Song Lyrics

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can

Just like the Mississippi
Our journey starts in Minnesota
Take I-35 to 90
Soon through South Dakota

Big hi to that country road
Are we gonna make it on down?
She said yeah, Tim, good to see ya
Hope you all stick around

The futures not the hardest to see
Do what you do girl
But please don't leave

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can

Get down when I wanna, man
Get through the darkest night
We were born to ride, now baby
Ride until the morning light

Took a trip down to Kansas
Missouri, then Arkansas
Stayed with her sister
That girl's above the law

The futures not the hardest to see
Do what you do girl
But please don't leave

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can

It's a mad house, baby
Fast women, cocaine and booze
Toughest of the roughest
I got nothing to lose

Before I met ya
Everything was going wrong
It been a long journey now
Girl I wanna take you home

The futures not the hardest to see
Do what you do girl
But please don't leave

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can
