L J Booth - Hold On! Şarkı Sözleri

I counted seven full seconds
From the flash until the sound
And that's five seconds less than the last one
This baby is really covering ground

For now...up on this ridge
That sound is just a seven mile bridge
But it won't be long, I know
Until every window shakes with each pound

Grab your woman, grab your man
Grab as many kids as you can
And hold on!...cause the wind is gonna blow

I remember a Robbie Burns line
How a big thundercloud
Looks a lot like an angry man's
Gathering brow

So, Mr. Burns, could you explain?
Why these buckets of rain
Always seem to follow the fury?
For crying out loud!

Grab your woman, grab your man
Grab as many kids as you can
And hold on!...cause the wind is gonna blow

Somewhere back along the line
Someone must have lost a pine
All the smells of what has been
Are riding this first gust of wind

And oh, I know
Night sky is rolling with the sound
And oh, I know
It won't be long until it's shaking in the ground

An old guy up the road here
Told a great lie last fall
Of many years back
How one hell of a squall

Stretched out all the telephone lines
So far and so fine
That just phoning next door was a long distance call

Grab your woman, grab your man
Grab as many kids as you can
And hold on!...cause the wind is gonna blow
