Went to a beautiful place one time
Didn't care nothing 'bout a nickel or a dime
Sat there watching the river roll by
Spend my whole life with a tear in my eye
Lord, and I'm on my way
Oh and it won't be long
Lord and I'm holding on

Lord I'm on my way
Oh and it won't be long
Lord and I'm holding on

Gravity getting the best of me
Won't be long as far as I can see
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
No use fighting what's sealed and bound

Lord I'm on my way
Oh and it won't be long
Lord and I'm holding on

Pushin' my weight against stone walls
Playin' a guitar given by grandpa'
He never learned to pick one tune
Gave his soul to heaven in the month of June

Lord I'm on my way
Oh and it won't be long
Lord and I'm holding on
