Lyrics

She Holds On

She works in a factory
Ten hours a day
Putting door inserts in new Chevrolets
She's single with children
Like her mother before
She's living a life that she didn't ask for..[but]

Chorus:
She holds on
She holds on
And she don't let go
She holds on
She holds on
'Cuz you never know just when
When your ship's gonna come in

She thinks of her boyfriend
Who's from the West Coast
He's always depressed, and he's pale as a ghost
And when they go riding
She child-locks his door
She knows he won't jump, but she just can't be sure

Chorus:

Bridge:
And maybe her choices have not been the best
But that doesn't carve them in stone
She's doing what's working, discarding the rest
And moving ahead on her own

She sits by herself
On her lunch break
Browsing brochures for night courses to take
She works in a factory
Day after day
Knowing for certain she's not gonna stay...[so]

Chorus:
