[Verse 1]
They hung a sign up in our town
"If you live it up, you won't live it down"
So she left Monte Rio, son [*1]
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips [*2]
She went and took that California trip
Oh, the moon was gold, her hair like wind
Said, "Don't look back, just come on, Jim"
[Chorus]
Oh, you got to hold on, hold on
You gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
しっかりつかまって、そのまま
手放さないで
私の手を握って、私はここにいる
あきらめないで
[Verse 2]
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone's looking for someone to blame
When you share my bed
You share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said, "Baby, I still love you"
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
[Chorus]
Oh, but you got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
でも、しっかりつかまって、そのまま
手放さないで
私の手を握って、私はここにいる
あきらめないで
[Verse 3]
Well, God bless your crooked little heart
St. Louis got the best of me [*3]
I miss your broken china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it down
Then you burn your mansion
To the ground
Oh, there's nothing left to keep you here
But when you're falling behind
In this big blue world
[Chorus]
Oh, you've got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
しっかりつかれ、そのまま
手放すな
オレの手を握って、オレはここにいる
あきらめるな
[Verse 4]
Down by the Riverside motel
It's ten below and falling
By a ninety-nine-cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Oh, your old hometown's so far away
But inside your head
There's a record that's playing
[Chorus]
A song called "Hold On", hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
Take my hand, I'm standing right there
You gotta hold on
You got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
You got to hold on, hold on
Babe, you gotta hold on
And take my hand, I'm standing right here
You gotta hold on
[Outro]
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on, baby
You gotta hold on, girl
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
[Verse 1]
Down in Mexicali [*1]
There's a crazy little place
That I know
Where the drinks are hotter
Than the chili sauce
And the boss is a cat named Joe
[Chorus]
He wears a red bandanna
Plays a cool piano
In a honky-tonk [*2]
Down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash
And a black mustache
In a honky-tonk
Down in Mexico
[Verse 2]
Well, the first time
That I saw him
He was sittin' on a piano stool
I said "Tell me, man
When does the fun begin?"
He just winked his eye and said
"Man, be cool"
[Chorus]
He wears a red bandanna
Plays a cool piano
In a honky-tonk
Down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash
And a black mustache
In a honky-tonk
Down in Mexico
[Verse 3]
In Mexico
All of a sudden in walks a chick
In Mexico
Joe starts playing on
A Latin Kick [*3]
In Mexico
Around her waist
She wore three fishnets
In Mexico
She started dancin'
With the castanets
In Mexico
I didn't know just what to expect
In Mexico
She threw her arms around my neck
In Mexico
We started dancin'
All around the floor
In Mexico
And then she did a dance
I never saw before
[Chorus]
He wears a red bandanna
Plays a cool piano
In a honky-tonk
Down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash
And a black mustache
In a honky-tonk
Down in Mexico
[Outro]
Hey, como est usted senorita
Come with me to Mexico City
You can get your kicks in Mexico
Hahaha, crazy
Come with me, baby, come with me
Ah we can watch
The bull fights together
Come with me, senorita
Yeah... yeah...
[Verse 1]
Let's meet up far away
Where astronauts and gravity
Have opened up the atmosphere
We'll be so safe up here
Navigating the space
We'll create our own star
And I'll name it after you
We'll be so calm up there
We'll fly around with the quiet air
The sun will bring us 'round again
Inhaling and orbiting [*]
Our great planet will fit on
The tip of your thumb
You'll say I finally see how time stops
And everything that hurts us drops off
[Chorus]
I'll be what you want
When everything is gone
Let the world disappear
There are places up here we can hide
We'll be safe way up high
Somewhere only we can find
[Verse 2]
I know it's safe from being
Called out or evaluated
And people change on a whim
So cue the violence
Let's go rescue a planet
Who's been thrown away (Yeah)
You'll name it after me
'Cause after
All we're only one triumphant
Bang away
From resting in infinity
Or darkness or some brighter place
Let's not waste one more second on
Caring about
Trying to figure out what looks right
'Cause that can't take away
That you're mine
[Chorus]
I'll be what you want
When everything is gone
Let the world disappear
There are places up here we can hide
Somewhere only we can find
I'll be what you want
When everything is gone
Let the world disappear
There are places up here we can hide
We'll be safe way up high
Somewhere only we can find
[Bridge]
My, suddenly the stars are flashlights
The universe will make your eyes shine
Can't you feel away that time stops?
Everything that hurts drops off
[Chorus]
Now I'll be what you want
When everything is gone
Let the world disappear
There are places up here we can hide
Somewhere only we can find
I'll be what you want
When everything is gone
Let the world disappear
There are places up here we can hide
We'll be safe way up high
Somewhere only we can find
