Anywhere you go, anyone you meet, Remember that your eyes can be your enemies, I said, well hell is so close And heaven's out of reach I ain't giving up quite yet, I've got too much to lose Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, and I'll carry you home Rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine, The wind is gonna blow, the water's gonna rise She said, when the day comes, look into my eyes No one's giving up quite yet, We've got too much to lose Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, And I'll carry you all the way, You say you're fine But you're still young, and out of line All I need is to turn around, To make it last, to make it count You're gonna make the same mistakes That put my momma in her grave I don't wanna be alone Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl Hold me down, and I'll carry you home
