Another tune I totally forgot I wrote. I think it was because I really was trying to hold on back then...I don't know. I do remember doing the lead part in one take, no practice, with a new Strat and a Gibson Falcon amp.

lyrics

IF I CAN’T HOLD ON

I broke my back out on the rocks this morning
Been out here thinking now it’s afternoon
We’ve got a train to catch and
But I don’t think that I can write that tune

I’ve tried and tried, and you know I’m still trying
You always said I was a trying man
But you’re so strong and I feel oh so weak now
I don’t know if I can fight the plan

If I can’t hold on, will you understand
Could you take the torch from my fallen hand
If I come apart as I fear I may
Just know in your heart, I tried my best today
If I can’t hold on and I just get lost
If the Flying Monkeys come and drag me off
If I lose my grip and it all goes wrong
Would you please forgive if I can’t hold on

about

Beowulf Kingsley Grass Lake Charter Township, Michigan

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
