Holdin' It Down

I held it all together, heavy on my mind
I held it all together
But I left it all behind
I didn't see you coming, coming down the line
Traffic in the atmosphere
Salt inside your smile

Lessons I’m unlearning
Back and forth in time
Coming up all rocky but opening my mind

I have been holding down long
As I can remember
The only thing I have depended
Upon has been me (Oh well)
But I’d like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I’m taking a plane and a
Car straight to your door

The sap it runs in springtime
The thaw begins at night
My hips are moving forward
I come from a long line

Reckless deep abandon streets that open wide
I thought I wasn’t ready
I was ready all the time

I have been holding down long
As I can remember you the only thing I have
Depended upon has been me (Oh well)
But I’d like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I’m taking a plane and a
Car straight to your door

Some folks live for money
Some folks want their time
I just like to spend my days
Seeking the divine, the divine, the divine

I have been holding it down
Long as I can remember
You the only thing I have
Depended upon has been me (Oh well)
But I like to live in your mind
You the intelligent kind
And I’m taking a plane and a
Car straight to your door
I have been holding it down
Long as I can remember
You the only thing I have
Depended upon has been me (Oh well)
But I like to live in your mind
You the intelligent kind
And I’m taking a plane and a
Car straight to your door
