A Man Holdin’ On (To a Woman Lettin’ Go)

2 Plays

Duration: 3:37

[Verse 1] Two young lovers with their bodies on fire Aching to swim that river of desire Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes A man holding on to a woman letting go [Verse 2] There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town Swimming with a memory that he can't drown Lord, it ain't sunk in that she ain't coming home Oh, a man holding on to a woman letting go [Chorus] His heart is telling him To hang on for dear life 'Cause deep down he knows She's letting go for good this time [Verse 3] There's a daddy walking his daughter down the aisle Fighting back tears and forcing a smile Oh, for twenty-two years he's watched her grow A man holding on to a woman letting go [Verse 4] In the Hill Valley Home, there's a feeble old man And he's holding on to a fragile old hand And the angels are coming to carry her home Now he's a man holding on to a woman letting go [Chorus] His heart is telling him To hang on for dear life 'Cause deep down he knows She's letting go for good this time [Outro] Two young lovers with their bodies on fire Aching to swim that river of desire Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes Oh, a man holding on to a woman letting go A man holding on to a woman, a woman letting go
