Hold On Jerry

Joseph Arthur

Hold on Jerry, hold on
Talking to the dead
Endless highway mercy's song
Well I sing to you

Going home there's no one
Gonna meet you there
As your road keeps droning on (and on)
The dead just come to you

This life is complicated
This death is overrated
And your dream is turned to faded blue
This love is obligated
This time is thinly stated
And your mind is agitated too

Hold on Jerry, hold on
The family needs you now
As you come back to us all
Well we come to you

Going home to Mercy
She's been loving you
And you've been loving her so much
She's in you now

This life is complicated
This death is overrated
And your dream is turned to faded blue
This love is obligated
This town is thinly stated
And your mind is agitated too

This life is complicated
This death is overrated
And your dream has turned to faded blue
This love is obligated
This time is thinly stated
And your mind is agitated too
