Man Holdin' On (To A Woman Letting Go)

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
