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
Aw, 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, (right)
I got nothing to loose
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
