I remember that first moment outside of abilene,
I drew a bull named lightning I was barely 17,
My momma called me crazy she just didnt understand,
She said she wouldnt be there,
But I saw her in the stands,
I threw one hand in the air,
And I said a little prayer,

(chorus)
If I can just hold on with all as long as I can,
This a defining moment to see the kind of man I am,
Just hold on with all of my might,
I know that I will find the strength to make it through this night,
If I can just hold on,
Yeah,

Now I ride for a livin,
Its the only life I know
Everybody knows my name everywhere I go,
The big show down in houston
Down to my final ride,
I drew a bull named tombstone
He had fire in his eyes,

I heard he was mean as hell
So I just whispered to myself,

(chorus)
If I can just hold on with all as long as I can,
This a defining moment to see the kind of man I am,
Just hold on with all of my might,
I know that I will find the strength to make it through this night,
Just hold on,
Yeah,
If I can just hold on

The crowd fell silent I was on my back,
I heard distant sirens then it all went black,
I was barely alive,
But I know I can survive,

If I can just hold on with all as long as I can,
This a defining moment to see the kind of man I am,
Just hold on with all of my might,
I know that I will find the strength to make it through this night,
Just hold on
Yeah
Oh if I can just hold on,

I remember that first moment outside of abilene....
