Man Holdin' on (To a Woman Letting Go) Songtext

von Ty Herndon

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 holdin' on to a woman letting go

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
A man holdin' 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

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 holdin' on to a woman letting go

In the Hillvalley home there's a feable 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 holdin' on to a woman letting go

Chorus

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 holdin' on to a woman letting go

Oh a man holdin' on to a woman
A woman letting go
