[Verse 1]
The preacher talked to me and he smiled
Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile"
And now for once in your life you're alone
But you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone

[Chorus]
I've just got to get a message to you
Hold on
Hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on
Hold on

[Verse 2]
I told him, "I'm in no hurry"
But if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life, I'm alone
And I've got to let her know, just in time before I go

[Chorus]
I've just go to get a message to you
Hold on
Hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on
Hold on

[Bridge]
Well I laughed, but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love, that keeps me wearing this dirt
And now I'm crying, but deep down inside
Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

[Chorus]
I've just got to get a message to you
Hold on
Hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on
Hold on

I just gotta get a message to you
I just gotta, get a message, get a message to you
Hold on
Hold
Hold on
Hold on

[Outro]
One more hour and my life will be through, oh
One more hour, one more hour, my life'll be through
Hold on
Oh, hold on
Hold on
