The Story Behind “Hold On Ronnie”
“Hold On Ronnie” holds a special place in the Heartfelt Media Group journey. It was the very first song Dan Parks began recording for HMG, shortly after Terry Parks started work on “There Was A Time.”
Originally written as a concept song inspired by an Archie Comics movie idea, “Hold On Ronnie” captures the emotions of young love, misunderstandings, outside opinions, and fighting for a relationship worth saving. Its heartfelt lyrics and coffee shop imagery give the song a nostalgic, cinematic feel that blends classic storytelling with modern emotion.
Lyrics
Hold on Ronnie, now just slow down
You know I want you to stay around
Seems like everyone's got a theory
Telling you how it should be
Sitting in a coffee shop, I looked into your eyes
We said that we would always be together
Your friend told you that there was another in my life
But you know that I want to hurt you never
Hold on Ronnie, now just slow down
You know I want you to stay around
Seems like everyone's got a theory
Telling you how it should be
I don't care what my friends said
Or all these voices inside my head
If I told you that I was sorry
Would you turn around and come back to me?
My friends told me that it's better if I let you go
They said, "That girl is not the one for you guy"
But I've been thinking we may be the only ones who know
That our love is worth so much more than one try
Hold on, Ronnie, now just slow down
You know I want you to stay around
Seems like everyone's got a theory
Telling you how it should be
I don't care what my friends said
Or all these voices inside my head
If I told you that I was sorry
Would you turn around and come back to me?
Na-na...
Na-na...
Na-na...
Na-na...
Hold on, Ronnie, now just slow down
You know I want you to stay around
Seems like everyone's got a theory
Telling you how it should be
I don't care what my friends said
Or all these voices inside my head
If I told you that I was sorry
Would you turn around and come back to me?
