Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting on the front porch trying to keep still
Baby's looking finer than a fifty dollar bill
Pretty blue eyes and it isn't hard to see
That baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 2]
Long blonde hair down the middle of her back
She's got the keys to her daddy's Cadillac
Got every little thing that I'm ever gonna need
Baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 3]
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 4]
We got a full tank of gas, looking for a thrill
A three day weekend, lot of time to kill
Put the top down, but we're never gonna freeze
'Cause baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 5]
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on
[Verse 6]
Well, the full moon's shining on a Carolina night
Driving my girl across the interstate line
Got a preacher waiting and that's how it's gonna be
'Cause baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 7]
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 8]
Got a hold on
Got a hold on me
Got a hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me
Baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 9]
Hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on
Hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
[Verse 10]
Hold on
Hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on
Hold on
Baby's got a hold on me
Hold on
Hold on
