just hang on

when i was young

back when life was fun

i recall the words my papa said. he said to be a man

you gotta try and understand

there's one thing that you must know. if you want to go far

well

set yourself a goal

and just hang on

just hang on. and if you do this my son

your gonna make it someday

just hang on

my son. that's the only way. well it wasn't long

when i left daddy's home

all alone with no place to be. with a great surprise

it looked me straight in the eyes

a red guitar and the dreams of a star. if you want to go far

set yourself a goal

and just hang on

just hang on. and if you do this my son

you're gonna make it someday

just hang on

my son. that's the only way. that's the only way. you'll be a star some day. i say

lord

let me hear you play. play on.
