Jeanne Please Hold On
Lyrics
Table is all set I watch our family
Eating macaroni and cheese
Little Joey raves about his baseball game
Wants to play at Wrigley Field some day
I work Home Depot
Jeannie you cook in town
Never got to pay that mortgage down

Whoever knows when times will turn around?
Our dreams are scattered all along the road
I'll never quit I'll never let you down
Jeannie please hold on and don't let go

Grandpa he got sick and so we tried to help
Took a loan and sold what we could sell
Fargo said they had to raise the interest rates
Left us payments more than we both make
Depot cut my hours
Jeannie you barely smile
Haven't felt your touch in quite awhile

Whoever knows when times will turn around?
Our dreams are scattered all along the road
I'll never quit I'll never let you down
Jeannie please hold on and don't let go

Instrumental

Oh whoever knows when times will turn around?
Our dreams are scattered all along the road
We'll never quit your hand is on my arm
Jeannie please hold on
Oh Jeannie please hold on and don't let go

Table is all set I watch our family
Eating macaroni and cheese
