Tom: Am
Am
It's just an old beat up truck
F
Some say that I should trade up
C
Now that I got some jangle in my pocket
Am
But what they don't understand
F
Is it's the miles that make a man
C
I wouldn't trade that thing in for a rocket
Am
What they don't know's my dad and me
F
We drove her out to Tennessee
C G
And she's still here and now he's gone
Am F C
So I hold on
[Verse 2]
Am
It's just an old beat up box
F
It's rusty strings across the top
C C
It probably don't look like much to you
Am
But these dents and scratches in the wood
F
Yeah that's what makes it sound so good
C C
To me it's better than brand new
Am
You see this here flat top guitar
F
Has had my back in a million bars
C G
Singing every country song
Am F C C
So I hold on
[Chorus]
F C
To the things, I believe in
G Am
My faith, your love, our freedom
F
To the things I can count on
C G
To keep me going strong
Am F C
Yeah I hold on
Am F C
I hold on
F
Like the stripes to the flag
C G
Like a boy to his dad
F C G
I can't change who I am, right or wrong
Am F C
So I hold on
[Solo]
Am F C
[Verse 3]
Am
Baby lookin' at you right now
F
There ain't never been no doubt
C C
Without you I'd be nothing
Am F
So if you ever worry about, me walkin' out
C
Yeah let me tell you something
Am F C
I hold on
Am F C
I hold on... Can you hear me baby
Am F C
I hold on (yeah!)
Am F C
I hold on
[Chorus]
F C
To the things, I believe in
G Am
My faith, your love, our freedom
F
To the things I can count on
C G
To keep me going strong
F C
To the things, I believe in
G Am
My faith, your love, our freedom
F
To the things I can count on
C G
To keep me going strong
Am F C
Yeah I hold on
Am F C
I hold on
[Outro]
Am F C
I hold on and on and on and on and on
Am F C
I hold on and on and on and on and on
G
