Hold everything till I come home No matter how long I'm gone Don't be tempted by the money and booze Nobody's gonna fill my shoes When I get back I won't even knock Cause the same old key fits the same old lock Hold everything till I come home No matter how long I'm gone Hold everything till I come home No matter how long I'm gone Don't try to sell our little old shack Just keep it till I get back Just keep everything in apple shape If you feel too frisky just put on the brake Hold everything till I come home No matter how long I'm gone Hold everything till I come home No matter how long I'm gone Just meet 'em at the door with a 44 And tell 'em I might get sore If they ask for a date just show 'em the gate And if they don't like it tell them they're to late Hold everything till I come home No matter how long I'm gone Hold everything I'm a-coming home No matter how far I roam When I return we're gonna be alone We'll forget I've ever been gone When I get back if you've been sweet We won't have much time to eat Hold everything till I come home No matter how long I'm gone
