lyrics

GOT TO HOLD MY GIRL
By Tim May

“No one ever gives you nothin’ ” my old man used to say
Before I got to take it they ripped me away
A face full of blood, a mouth full of sand
I’ll never get to hold the world in the palm of my hand

I’ve got to hold my girl
I’ve got to hold my girl
I’ve got to hold my girl
I’ve got to hold her

I was smoking with the boys on the back of the truck
When the Sergeant spat and said “I guess we’re shit out of luck”
At dawn we hit the water, Jimmy was drowned
Ray got cut to pieces before he could turn around

I’ve got to hold my girl
I’ve got to hold my girl
I’ve got to hold my girl
I’ve got to hold her now

And when those shells are raining down
You’re gonna wish you were already six feet underground

Got to hold my girl
I’ve got to hold my girl
Got to hold my girl
I’ve just got to hold her now
I’ve got to hold my girl
and here she comes right now
Look out, here she comes
