John Mellencamp - Hand To Hold On To lyrics

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,<br>Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,<br>Take it nice and easy and always pretend<br>That you're cool.........so cool..........so cool.<br><br>Say, i'munna hold onto that a while and I will and I'll be tame,<br>Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,<br>Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane,<br>Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.<br><br>Chorus:<br>Everyone needs a hand to hold on to<br>Everyone needs a hand to hold on to<br>Don't need to be no strong hand<br>Don't need to be no rich hand<br>Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to<br><br>Havin' good luck with your financial situation,<br>Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,<br>Go to work and be a hollywood stand,<br>Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but<br><br>Repeat chorus<br><br>And in those hours when you're alone,<br>And there's nobody there except yourself,<br>I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,<br>And say, talk to me, talk to me, somebody please<br>Talk to me! yeah!<br><br>Guitar solo<br>Ohh, yeah!<br>Chorus<br><br>Repeat chorus
