Crossin' the river in a big old boat
With a dollar bill in my hand
Gonna go fishin' in the afternoon
Got a simple plan
Oh yeah, baby

I got to hold on
I got to be strong
I got to live long
And be with you

Lonely nights and lonely days
When I'm not with you
Learned to trust and I learned to give
Found a love that's true
Oh yeah, baby

I got to hold on
I got to be strong
I got to live long
And be with you

Girl it shouldn't be too hard
To live with you
It's really not complicated
Until I get the blues

Come on over and sit right down
Let me take your hand
I got a love gonna fill you up
Take you to the promised land
Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah

I got to hold on
I got to be strong
I got to live long
And be with you

Be with you baby
Be with you baby
I got to be with you babe
Be with you baby, oh alright

Lonely nights, lonely days
When I'm not with you babe
Learned to trust and I learned to give
Found a love that's true, babe
Oh yeah, baby

I got to hold on now
Got to be strong now
To be with you
Be with you baby
Be with you baby
