[Verse 1]
Went to a beautiful place one time
Didn't care nothing about a nickel or a dime
Sat there watching the river roll by
Spent my whole life with a tear in my eye

[Chorus]
Lord, I'm on my way
Oh and it won't be long
Lord, and I'm holding on

[Verse 2]
Gravity's 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

[Chorus]
Lord, I'm on my way
Oh and it won't be long
You know that I'm holding on

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Lord, and I'm on my way
Oh and it won't be long
You know that I'm holding on
I'm holding on

[Chorus]
Lord, and I'm on my way
Oh, it won't be long
Yes, and I'm holding on
I know that I'm holding on
