These bags are carry-on
And filled with many things
Like songs you taught me
On rusty guitar strings
Buried deep inside
Are the shirts off your back
You gave me the meal
And you only ate the snack
You handed me more than I could ever pay back [Chorus:]
So hold on tight
It's up around the bend
Before we arrive, let's pretend
With all my might
I'll keep walls from caving in
It's now and always been
Through times thick and thin And when our day arrives
The stories we can tell
Of bets we made on cards that never failed
The pennies we threw down empty wishing wells [Chorus:]
So hold on tight
It's up around the bend
Before we arrive, let's pretend
With all my might
I'll keep walls from caving in
It's now and always been
Through times thick and thin
