The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm holdin' on
I'm just holdin' on
Hey, hey
Ohhh, holdin' on
I was really wrong
Now she's really gone
I used to hold her
I'm never let her down
When she needed me
I was always around
But hey, that's all over now
I was really wrong
Now she's really gone
When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way
Day turned into night
Night turned into day
And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"
I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night
Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room
Just holdin' on
Just holdin' on
(Guitar solo)
Ohhh, When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way
Day turned into night
Night turned into day
And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"
I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night
Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room
Just holdin' on
Just holdin' on
