hankin' on

i got holes in my boots

i got holes in my jeans

i got holes in my pocke

say

holes in my dreams

three meals don't come squarely

payin' gigs come rarely

rumurs going round town that

i'm just barely hankin' on

but i'm still hankin' on

bendin' these strings

singing these songs

hankin' on

i got $20 in the bank

20 in my tank

two crooked managers and

one ex-wife to thank

record man keeps sayin'

my brand of country's dated

momma keeps on prayin'

but i just keep on playin'

hankin' on

yeah

i just keep hankin' on

bendin' these strings

singing these songs

hankin' on

so

if i go to heaven

or if i go to hell

i'll put a band together

and i'll pick'em just as well

hankin' on

yeah

i just keep hankin' on

bendin' these strings

singing these songs

hankin' on

bendin' these strings

singing these songs

hankin' on

i'm hankin' on

singin' my songs

just hankin' on
