Alabama Shakes - Hold On Lyrics






Bless my heart, bless my soul.
Didn't think I'd make it to 22 years old.
There must be someone up above sayin',
"Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up.
You got to hold on...
Hey, you got to hold on..."

So, bless my heart and bless yours too.
I don't know where I'm gonna go
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
There must be somebody up above sayin',
"Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up!
You got to hold on...
Hey, you got to hold on..."

"Yeah! You got to wait!
Yeah! You got to wait!"
But I don't wanna wait!
No, I don't wanna wait...

So, bless my heart and bless my mind.
I got so much to do, I ain't got much time
So, must be someone up above saying,
"Come on, girl! Yeah, you got to get back up!
You got to hold on...
Yeah, you got to hold on..."

"Yeah! You got to wait!"
I don't wanna wait!
But I don't wanna wait!
No, I don't wanna wait!

You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...

    How in the hell does a person give this a thumbs down??????????????????????????

  39. S.... D....

    Every time I contemplate suicide I listen to this song and it helps me hold on just a little longer

    S.... D....

    Do not give up. I know you can hold on. That's never the right thing to do. I tried it didn't go off but it did in the floor. God doesn't want you to die right now. One person did go off I cleaned up his brains yet he lived. Think about that

  79. J.... ....

    "You gotta.....Holed on...", Awesome played loud

  80. J.... C....

    Esse son e de mais

  81. L.... S....

    I guess the guys didn’t want to sell their soul and thus you joined the Bermuda Triangle and yes it’s obvious

  82. w.... t....

    I'd love to be with someone who has same music taste as me

    w.... t....

    I love enjoying music with my partner we have the same "taste" for the most part we like a lot of different types of music but he's also turned me on to music I would have never listened to or appreciated before and I have to him. What music we're feeling at the time changes as we do and what is going on in our lives. Finding a partner and life in general is a lot like music, you have to find someone with similar values, who can also bring something good to your life that you haven't had before, who you can grow with and lean on during the bad and rejoice with during the good, who you can keep you becoming a better person but can always appreciate where you came from and where you've been. Life is a journey and there's a soundtrack to it that we don't always pick the songs, sometimes we stumble across them, sometimes we seek them out. Music will always be there for you regardless if you have no one to share it with, giving you hope, peace, wisdom, and helping you find your way.

    w.... t....

    Go to an Alabama Shakes conce- oh. Nevermind

    w.... t....

    @Tori Dark Similar values, not same taste. You're soooo right

    w.... t....

    Me too.

  83. B.... H....

    I this one is the best version 💔

  84. H.... M....

    Brittany’s voice ❤️

  85. N.... ....

    Late 60s perfected. I say that with sooooo much respect. Shakes have it on lock. Real shit is hard to come by. Thank y’all

  86. A.... H....

    I'm not saying this to be rude cuz shes amazing but she looks like one of those drawings they do at the beach lol

    A.... H....

    If you're not trying to be rude then why say anything at all?

    A.... H....

    Because everyone's a fucking pussy like you. So just wanted to say that I stating an observation. But I guess that didnt work Avery!

  87. S.... L....

    Única voz!!!!!

  88. D.... L....
