Won´t you hold me through the shakes, darlin´?
Well, it´s fine if you cut and run
At first light of the crestin´ sun
But right now, I´m fiendin´
And if you´re still in town

When my better days roll around
We´ll heat this ground and dance like two hearts bleedin´
This city is so loud
And the hotel kicked me out
Do you think that she´s still proud lookin´ down?
The world got so confusin´
I´m a tool for cheap amusement
And they all hate me from here to Tennessee

So hold me through the shakes
Although it´s more than I can take
There ain´t no choice for damaged boys like me
Hold me through the shakes
Although it´s more than you can take
And when you wake, you´ll still be my darlin´
When you wake, I´m yours to take, darlin´

Let me have my bloody knuckles
All my nights and dark cold trouble
When I was through, I was hopin´ you might wait for me
They made me out to be
Somethin´ I don´t understand
How I am just a man, my darlin´
Now I´m lost in Denver
With a postcard I could send ya
But I don´t know of any good it´d do
So I´ll photograph the lights
´Cause they remind me of your eyes
And pray for you until I untangle this blue

Hold me through the shakes
Although it´s more than I can take
There ain´t no choice for damaged boys like me
Hold me through the shakes

Although it´s more than you can take
And when you wake, you´ll still be my darlin´
When you wake, I´m yours to take, darlin´

Well, hold me through the shakes
Although it´s more than I can take
There ain´t no choice for damaged boys like me
Hold me through the shakes
Although it´s more than you can take
And when you wake, you´ll still be my darlin´
When you wake, I´m yours to take, darlin´
