Hold On, Don't Die

from The River Jordan by Waking Aspen

lyrics

Remember the time that you broke your leg
The ambulance came to take you away
And I screamed at Momma to make you stay
But she gone pinky-swore you'd be okay

And I said
"Hold on, don't die
Momma and I will drive right behind you
Hold on, don't die
And if you do I'll be right beside you
Hold on, don't you die"

Remember the time that you got in the fight
Got drunk, got punched, and you stayed out all night
When I asked Momma where you'd gone
Through her tears she told me you shouldn't be long

And I said
"Hold on, don't die
Momma and I will come out to find you
Hold on, don't die
And if you do we'll be right beside you
Hold on, don't die"

Remember the time that you had too much
Even after they told you you'd had enough
The doctor came and said "You may see him now"
And you told me my whispers were too loud

When I said
"Hold on, don't die
Mom and I we really don't mind you
Hold on, don't die
And if you do we'll be right beside you
Hold on, don't die"

I remember the time that I drove up north
Crashed the car and got put on life support
And you and Momma came to pay your last respects
You sat down and told me all your regrets

And you said
"Hold on, don't die
Momma and I are right here beside you
Hold on, don't die
And if you do, I'll be close behind you
Hold on, don't you die"

And for the first time, I saw you cry
