A Man Holdin On To A Woman Lettin Go lyrics

Two young lovers with their bodies on fire

Achin` to swim that river of desire

Leavin` innocence there on the bank by their clothes
A man holdin` on to a woman lettin` go


There`s a man with a bottle on the other side of town
Swimmin` in a mem-ry that he can`t drown

Lord it ain`t sunk in that she ain`t comin` home
A man holdin` on to a woman lettin` go



Chorus

His heart is tellin him

To hang on for dear life

Cuz deep down he knows

She`s lettin` go for good this time



There`s a daddy walkin` his daughter down the aisle
Fightin` back tears and forcin` a smile

For 22 years he`s watched her grow
Now he`s a man holdin` on to a woman lettin` go

In the hill valley home there`s a feeble old man

And he`s holdin` on to a fragile old hand

The angels are comin` to carry her home

A man holdin` on to a woman lettin` go

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Verse One
