Hold Tight

Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold on tight, chariot’s a comin’
Gonna take us home tonight

Daniel said to Lily in the dark of the night
I think we’re lost, can’t find a light
To shine on the path to light our way
Feel like sitting down to cry

Lily said to Daniel I think we might
Head back to the ranch, get our flashlight
Shine it on the path to light our way
We’ll be home before the break of day

Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold on tight, chariot’s a comin’
Gonna take us home tonight

Garden of Eden was a mighty pretty place
Fruit on the trees and smiles on the faces
Of the two young lovers who were living there
They didn’t have a care

But that bad old snake with the silvery tongue
Planted thickets of temptation in the hearts of the young
Before you know it, well the sin and shame
Had spoiled all the fun

Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold on tight, chariot’s a comin’
Gonna take us home tonight

Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold tight, chariot’s a comin’
Hold on tight, chariot’s a comin’
Gonna take us home tonight
