Hold on for the fight

[Intro] Ohhh... Lord, give me strength... [Verse 1] This body’s hurtin’, soul’s searchin’, Lord I need healin’ Wonderin’ if I’ll ever be whole again That old pickup’s coughin’ on 300k, barely breathin’ Just like me, runnin’ on faith and fumes again Served this country, Few and Proud, gave all I had Never asked for a handout, just a shoulder, just a hand Now the sky won’t rain and the field’s cracked and dry I’m a father, I’m a husband, and I’m tryin’ not to lie When I say I’m fallin’ apart, only You can see me [Chorus] Oh Lord, guide me, hold me tight This boat keeps rockin’ in the middle of the storm Oh Lord, save me, drought on the farm But Your arms wrap ’round me, hold me tight It’s just You, me, and my old Kenworth tonight Keep us rollin’ down that highway line Whisper “I love you son, just hold on for the fight” [Verse 2] Heart heavy, spirit low, feel that drought in my soul Farm’s thirsty, bills gettin’ higher than the corn can grow Weep at night when the house gets quiet You stayed my hand from that worldly violence Pray for my wife while she’s holdin’ me down She’s fightin’ her own battle, Lord help us now Think ’bout my baby girl all the time Sight gettin’ bad, can’t stand to see her blind And I’m missin’ those babies runnin’ ’round the kitchen floor Pop-Pop loves you more than you’ll ever know [Breakdown] That pickup’s on its last leg... First sight failin’... But our faith ain’t failin’ She can’t see clear... But she still sees me prayin’... So I gotta go... [Verse 3] Woke up this mornin’, mercy in the passenger seat beside me Tears in her eyes but she’s still smilin’ at me Hands still shakin’ but I pray with ’em now Doc said healin’ takes time, so I stay with it now Thought they shelved me, but God set me apart Still a soldier, You’re just mendin’ my heart Kiss my wife goodbye, kiss them grandbabies on the head Papa gotta go make this run, put food on the table and the bread From the shelf to the altar, from the drought to the promise If You kept me this long, I know You gon’ keep us [Chorus] Oh Lord, guide me, hold me tight (don’t let go, don’t let go) That old Kenworth’s groanin’ but I won’t let go Oh Lord, save me, that dry wind all around me But Your arms, Your arms hold me tight Fields may be empty but Heaven’s full tonight Say You love me, so I hold on Say You love me, so I hold on for the fight [Outro] Don’t get mad... just get better Lord give me strength... to get better Just You, me, and my old Kenworth... we gon’ get better.
