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
