Something's got a hold on me An' it won't let go Ev'ry time I close my eyes I hear a freight train blow My papa was a gamblin' man An' mama tried, tried, tried Ev'rybody's got their thing, I like to ride, ride, ride Something's got a hold on me Tuggin' on my heels an' toes Something's got a hold on me An' it won't let go Something's got a hold on me And it won't back down Ev'ry time you kiss my lips I hear that highway sound Carolina looks real good If I'm in east St. Paul Oklahoma looks just fine If I'm in Montreal Repeat Chorus Something's got a hold on me An' it calls my shots I don't want your golden rings Or your forget-me-nots I throw out my ramblin' shoes, Can't get a full night's sleep Anything I think I got I know I just can't keep Repeat Chorus
