Still Holdin' on Songtext

von Marshall Tucker Band

When I was young
I was sure I never could grow old.
I was gonna climb mountains and sail the seas,
Go searching for gold.
But those years, they come creeping in and the journey gets so long.
I don't spring back like I used to, but I'm still holding on.
Holding on, to what I believe in, be it right or be it wrong.
Holding on to my crazy dreams and I'm still holding on.
Thought I found true love and I was sure it never, never could end.
I was blinded by the light of her eyes and I couldn't see 'round the bend.
Then one night she said goodbye, I turned around---she was gone.
Shake my head and shed my tears, but I'm still holding on.
Holding on, to believing that love is a good thing, even though she's gone.
Holding on to my crazy dreams, yeah I'm still holding on.
Late at night when the cold wind blows and my collar's pulled up high.
I'm all alone in a Godforsaken place and wonderin' why.
Well, a man he does what he must do, and the journey must go on.
I light a cigarette and laugh at the wind, 'cuz I'm still holding on.
Holding on, to what I believe in, be it right or be it wrong.
Holding on to my crazy dreams yeah I'm still holding on.
Holding on, to what I believe in, be it right or be it wrong.
Holding on to my crazy dreams, yeah...
