Lyrics

Hold onto me baby - Everything's all right
Hold on to me baby - We've made through the night
The going's been tough, the fields have been rough
Some days been pouring rain
These fools and cruelly acting dudes been driving us insane
But you kept your faith in me and held on to me tight
And we don't have the blues to live tonight

Hold on to me baby - everything's okay
Got a little money in our pockets - and the bills have all been paid
We've labored and we've struggled - it's been tough along the way
It's been eighty-hour workweeks - for forty hours pay
But now we can have a little fun - the boss don't have no say
And we don't have to live the blues today

Remember all the times - that we been down and out
You know we been so broke - couldn't afford to have a doubt
There's 24 hours of work, we'll sleep another day
When it's finally time to relax we collapse
But now we're gonna play

(Instrumental)

Been days so cloudy, the skies dark grey
The sun don't ever come out
Your soul feels like it's dyin' - that's what blues are all about
You need some good news to chase them blues - Make them run away
To let the sun come shining through for blue skies, not blue days

Hold on to me baby - we've done all right so far
It ain't all been sweet - but this life ain't no candy bar
But tonight it's all right to celebrate - get a little tight
Forget about the worries and doubts, cause things will turn out right
So let's do something special - that'll make our hearts delight
Cause we don't have the blues to live tonight
Let's do something special - that'll make our hearts delight
Cause we don't have to live the blues tonight
