Hanging On Lyrics - English Oceans - Drive By Truckers

Your momma can't stand the way you lay around all day 

And lean on her to help you on your way 

You use her credit cards, complain cause it's so hard 

To live with all the whiteness you've obtained 

So you pack up all your things and cut those apron strings 

And set out for a drastic change of scene 

You hump it town to town and never let them down 

Or take the time to ponder what it means 

You climb up to the roof to smoke a few 

And calm down from your day and soak the view 

And you wonder what the hell you're gonna do 

To hang on, to hang on 

It isn't any wonder when the darkness pulls you under 

From the weight of all your wonderment 

And the price you have to pay 

Leaves you feeling kinda sickly and it all comes due so quickly 

It's hard to get out from under it 

The night it grows so long but you put it in a song 

That suddenly the whole world wants to sing 

So you move to higher ground and set some deep roots down 

And try to keep your grip on everything 

Sometimes in the silence of the night 

That voice might try to tell you it's not right 

So you close your eyes and try with all your might 

To hang on
