I try to run but stumbled
They blocked my favorite path
But the only rope around me is in my mind
You're even like an anchor
Wrapped around my heart
I walk away from loving you
But I don't get very far

What kind of hold do you have on me?
You cut me loose, why don't you set me free?
Chained to a heartache shackled to a memory
Oh, tell me what kind of hold do you have on me?

Standing on a stretch of highway
I got a long road ahead of me
I got my thumb pointed south
Think I'll head down to Santa Fe
Along came an Eldorado
Ask me would I like a ride
Free as a breeze, look at me
I can't get you off my mind

What kind of hold do you have on me?
You cut me loose, why don't you set me free?
Chained to a heartache shackled to a memory
Oh, tell me what kind of hold do you have on me?
Oh, tell me what kind of hold do you have on me?
