Hold On To Me

If I lied, would you lie to me the same?

If I died, would ya cry over my grave?

If you told me long before that day, you know that I could change, I’d say I’ll try

If I was mean, and I cuffed you round the mouth

Would ya scream, and throw my shit outside the house?

And if the neighbors called the law while I crawled across the lawn, would you leave?

While I pull the bottle closer, push the rest away

Open up the throttle, run the gasoline out the tank

Let the gin blossom, purple in my nose

And the balls in my eyes lose their will to float

Hold on to me, I just need one more drink

Take my hands, take em while they shake

Your wedding band, and so many things I meant to say

Traded by the day for all them bottles hid away, with our plans

Will ya stay, for just a moment while I rest my eyes

Will you wait, countin’ down the times

The breath inside my chest condescends to fall and rise and finally fade

Ya coulda left a thousand times, Lord knows ya shoulda tried

But ya stayed and prayed and let me drain the dreams out of our lives

While I pulled the bottle closer, and pushed the rest away

Opened up the throttle, ran the gasoline out the tank

Let the gin blossom, purple in my nose

And the balls in my eyes lose their will to float

Hold on to me, I just need one more drink

Hold on to me, I just need one more drink

If I lied, would you lie to me the same?

If I died, would ya cry over my grave?

If you told me long before that day, you know that I could change, I’d say I’ll try
