Hang On to That

I got a Rolling Stones t-shirt Dad bought for me at my first rock show

It's worn and torn and frayin', I wear it everywhere I go

I put it on, it takes me back to a lighter in the air, "Jumpin' Jack Flash"

You know I can't throw it away

Might have a Keith Richards of my own someday

I can hear my old man say

Hang on to that right there, that's one of a kind

Hang on to that, that'll last your whole lifetime

It'll stick with you through the highs and lows

Whatever you do, son, don't let go

Just hold on to it, tight as you can

Man, hang on to that

There she was at the Pac-Man table, Micky's on the East side

I sat down and we talked our way, all the way to '85

About last-call, she got up to leave

Wrote down her number on a bar receipt

Said, "Call me sometime, boy"

I can hear my old man's voice

Hang on to that right there, that's one of a kind

Hang on to that, that'll last your whole lifetime

It'll stick with you through the highs and lows

Whatever you do, son, don't let go

Just hold on to it, tight as you can

Yeah, man, hang on to that

Hang on, son

Don't you ever let go

She stole that Rolling Stones t-shirt, but I ain't blue

'Cause every time I see her in it, what else can I do?

Hang on to that

Better believe I'm hangin' on, yeah

Hang on to that right there, that's one of a kind

Hang on to that, that'll last your whole lifetime

It'll stick with you through the highs and lows

Whatever you do, son, don't let go

Just hold on to it, tight as you can

Yeah, man, hang on to that

Oh, hang on to that

Come on, son

Mm-mm
