Lyrics Hold on Joe Ely

Hold on

1)
Reeling cross the mossy swamp
Texarkana Louisiana listening to the engine thump
Nerves are shattered, what does it matter
if the rain pitter patters down the tree stump
2)
Looks like the rivers low
Johnny and Lindy ain't they windy listening to the radio
The rivers steamin', what are you dreamin'
Leaning half way out the window

Roll Roll Roll We're rollin' on
Blurred barbed wire out the window
Turn around and you'll be gone
3)
Headed up east about broke
In my tuxedo, Holy Toledo, choking on the factory smoke
There go the Great Lakes I got a headache
And I ain't trying to make no joke

Roll Roll Roll We're rollin' on
Blurred barbed wire out the window
Turn around and you'll be gone
4)
Now we gotta pay our toll
New York City, ain't she pretty, blazing like a thunderbolt
Nerves are shattered what's it matter
If the rain pitter patters down the manhole

Roll Roll Roll We're rollin' on
Blow Blow Blow wind blow alone
Hold on honey We're rollin' on
Roll Roll Roll We're rollin' on
