I Hold On

Dierks Bentley

Its just an old beat up truck,
some say that I should trade up
Now that I got some jangle in my pocket

But what they don’t understand is just the miles that make a man
I wouldn’t trade that thing in for a rocket

What they don’t know is my dad and me,
we drove around to Tennessee
And she’s still here and now he’s gone

So I hold on

Its just an old beat up box,
some say its just a rusted¹ top
It probly don’t look like much to you

But these dents² and scratches in the wood,
yea that’s what makes it sound so good

To me its better than brand new

Yea see this here flat top guitar,

has had my back in a million bars
Singing every country song

So I hold on

To the things, I believe in

My faith, your love, our freedom

To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong

Yeah I hold on, I hold on

Like the stripes to the flag, like a boy to his dad
I cant³ change who I am, right or wrong

So I hold on

Yeah baby lookin at you right now,
there ain't never been no doubt

Without you I'd be nothing

So if you ever worry about.. me walkin out

Yeah let me tell you something

I hold on.. I hold on

Can you hear me baby.. I hold on

To the things, I believe in

My faith, your love, our freedom

To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong

To the things, I believe in

My faith, your love, our freedom

To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong

Yeah I hold on, I hold on

Yeah I hold on, I hold on
