How she holds him
 Pulls him close
 And loves him so
 While he dreams of another
 And counts the days
 Until he lets her go

 Same old story
 That everybody knows
 It's one heart holdin' on
 One letting go

 While they ride
 Lord he tells her
 How they two
 Will settle down
 But she only hears the highway
 And a voice
 In some other town

 And the harder
 He holds her
 The more she slips away

 Same old story
 That everybody knows
 It's one heart holdin' on
 One letting go
 Same old story
