Holding On So Tight – Gary Floater

Hey Gary, you gonna run down to Carl’s Corner and pick you out one of them lot lizards?

Negatory on the lot lizard, good buddy. I’ve had the old lady in mind for the last five hundred miles and I’m still a long way from home. Think this freight is gonna have to wait, ol’ Gary’s gonna crawl in the back and punch the clown.

I pulled into the truck stop, turned off the radio
I shut her down in the parking lot by the smoky neon glow
All the way down a big ol’ shelf of magazines wrapped in plastic
But I did not even bat an eye, I just walked on past it

I’m holding on so tight to thoughts of you at home
These late nights on the road make a man feel alone
Sometimes I get so lonely, right down to the bone
Holding on so tight to thoughts of you at home

Well, it takes two to tango, but I’m dancing by myself
Like that pretty glass unicorn on the truckstop giftshop shelf
My fantasy seems so close, but I’m feeling so low
’Til I can touch you again, I just can’t let go
