Does your soul cry out for love,
the one that you've been dreaming of?
But as she hangs up the line
You pretend that you're doing fine
But it's a heartache like no other
Hold your head up for the bad times baby
Hold your head up for the bad times,
Well, I want you to catch me when I fall,
Burn your blues for another day,
Pick up your guitar and play,
Playin' your blues for another day
Pick up your guitar and play
Have you been this low before?
Can you not take this anymore?
Why do you still hold out
that hope that he's not there?
Well, I don't know what you're going through,
Hold your head up for the bad times, baby
Well, I want you to catch
Hold your head up for the bad times
Well I want you to catch me when I fall,
Burn your blues for another day,
Pick up your guitar and play
Burn your blues for another day
Pick up your guitar and play
Hold your head up for the bad times,
that what I'm saying is just for you
Hold your head up for the bad times,
Well I want you to catch me when I fall,
Burn your blues for another day,
Pick up your guitar and play
Burn your blues for another day,
Pick up your guitar and play
Whoa -oh -oh, whoa -oh -oh -oh
Whoa -oh -oh, whoa -oh -oh -oh
Pick up your guitar and play
