Crossin' the river in a big old boat,
With a dollar bill in my hand
Gonna go fishin' in the afternoon,
Got a simple plan
Oh yeah, baby

I got to hold on,
I got to be strong,
I got to live long,
And be with you

Lonely nights and lonely days,
When I'm not with you
Learned to trust and I learned to give,
Found a love that's true
Oh yeah, baby

I got to hold on,
I got to be strong,
I got to live long,
And be with you

Girl it shouldn't be too hard,
To live with you
It's really not complicated,
Until I get the blues

Come on over and sit right down,
Let me take your hand,
I got a love gonna fill you up,
Take you to the promised land
Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah

I got to hold on,
I got to be strong,
I got to live long,
And be with you

Be with you baby,
Be with you baby,
I got to be with you babe
Be with you baby, oh alright

Lonely nights, lonely days,
When I'm not with you babe
Learned to trust and I learned to give,
Found a love that's true, babe
Oh yeah, baby

I got to hold on now,
Got to be strong now,
To be with you
Be with you baby,
Be with you baby
