Life took me to school
Teaching me the blues
I guess that´s where I paid my dues
But running from the past
It´s hard to go fast
And every dice you roll will lose
Fate took a twist
A chance to hit or miss
Back on prime time tv
They thought I´d disappeared
But I got a new career
And all I had to be was me
I´m still holding on, holding on
A decade´s gone and I´m here holding on
Haters gonna hate
But I don´t take the bait
They´ll try to blow out your light
Every little bit´s
A chapter to be read
You get nowhere without a fight
I know that I am
An old-fashioned man
But before I take my final bow
I´m gonna head south
And sing it out loud
Cause I know that it´s always now
So I´m still holding on, holding on
A decade´s gone and I´m here holding on
Life took me to school
Taught me bout the blues
So I´ll keep paying my dues
Cause time goes fast
And everything´ll pass
It´s nothing that we get to chose
I know that lady luck
Picked me for the job
I´d been doing in my dreams
I guess I got it right
I guess I´m qualified
Cause all I need to be is me
And I´m holding on, holding on
A decade´s gone and I´m here holding on
