Something's Got a Hold on Me Songtext
von Steve Forbert

Something′s got a hold on me
An' it won′t let go
Ev'ry time I close my eyes
I hear a freight train blow

My papa was a gamblin' man
An′ mama tried, tried, tried
Ev′rybody's got their thing,
I like to ride, ride, ride

Something′s got a hold on me
Tuggin' on my heels an′ toes
Something's got a hold on me
An′ it won't let go


Something's got a hold on me
And it won′t back down
Ev′ry time you kiss my lips
I hear that highway sound
Carolina looks real good
If I'm in east St. Paul
Oklahoma looks just fine
If I′m in Montreal

Repeat Chorus

Something's got a hold on me
An′ it calls my shots
I don't want your golden rings
Or your forget-me-nots
I throw out my ramblin′ shoes,
Can't get a full night's sleep
Anything I think I got
I know I just can′t keep

Repeat Chorus
