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
