Can´t Hold On Letra

it was a kind of town, edge of the universe nothin' happened there to ever make the news lived a little boy and a girl next door had opinions and independent views they dreamed of nights and big city lights it helped to kill each dreary day and all the things that gettin' out would bring if only they could get away he say I can't hold on 'cause I'm feelin' strong but there's so many things I'm not knowing but the city light didn't burn so bright and the light of day was never warm and the little boy got into one more fight and the girl next dorr said "I miss my home" he said "believe in me" she said "I don't know" he said "can't you see?" I can't hold on 'cause I'm feelin' strong and there's so many things I'm not knowing and I can't hang round this one-horse town when my soul's tied down, I'm for going so the little boy became a broken man with a broken face and broken dreams and the girl next door disappeared one day and in her place was a woman-child, with long red hair and a price per hour, that she feels is fair I can't hold on, I'm not feeling strong there's so many things that hurt me now and I can't step down from this big cold town where my soul's tied down
