Holdin' My Own

[Verse 1] Always been a fighter, scrapper, and a clawer Used up some luck in lawyers Like Huck from Tom Sawyer jumped on my raft And shoved off chasing my dreams Reeling in big fishes I had some hits, a few big misses I gave 'em hell and got a few stitches And these days, I show off my scars [Chorus] With one arm around my baby And one arm around my boys A heart that's still pretty crazy And a head that hates the noise If the world comes knocking Tell 'em I'm not home I'm finally holdin' my own [Verse 2] I've burned up the fast lane Dodging drugs and divorce If I'm proof of anything God sure loves Troubadour Sometimes, late at night I miss the smoke and neon Sneak out of bed, grab a six-string Play what's still turnin' me on Like that tight old-time rock and roll Or that right-down-home country gold I miss blues and soul But not more than I miss being home [Chorus] With one arm around my baby And one arm around my boys A heart that's still pretty crazy And a head that hates the noise If the world comes knocking Tell 'em I'm not home I'm finally holdin' my own [Bridge] 'Til I run out of time I'm gonna spend the rest of mine [Chorus] With one arm around my baby And one arm around my boys A heart that's still pretty crazy And a head that hates the noise If the world comes knocking Tell 'em I'm not home I'm finally holdin' my own [Outro] And when my time on Earth is done I want they write it on my stone I lived, loved, and died holdin' my own I lived, loved, and died holdin' my own
