While they dance 
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
