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

Something's got a hold on me

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

Or

Carolina looks real good

If I'm in east st paul

Oklahoma looks just fine

If I'm in montreal

Something's got a hold on me

Just

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

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've got

I know I just can't keep

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

An' it won't let go

Something's got a hold on me

An' it won't let go

Something's got a hold on me

An' it won't let go

Something's got a hold on me

An' it just won't let go
