John Mellencamp – Hand To Hold On To

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That you’re cool………so cool……….so cool.

Say, im gonna hold onto that a while and I will and Ill be tame,
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl driving the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher….it does not matter.

Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

having good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a Hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but

Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

And in those hours when you’re alone,
And theres nobody there except yourself,
I know it………you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me! yeah!

Guitar solo
Ohh, yeah!

Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
