They say what goes around comes back one day
And good things come to them who wait
So I ain't gonna call you up like I want to
To say what I want to say to you, no
I hold it down by my tongue
Drink a beer and watch you run Like you long blonde hair's on fire
Like you're running from the law Like
you're the kind of gone that only comes
back for holidays But I ain't throwing in the towel
I'll keep an eye on our old roads Keep a light on on my porch
And keep this old heart safe and sound Baby you go live it up,
I'll hold it down
Yeah I'ma hold it down
East Tennessee or West L.A.
Girl your address can't but the past won't change
Now I ain't saying I know what you're meant to say
But I damn sure know what you're meant to be
But baby I'll hold it down by my tongue
Drink a beer and watch you run
Like you long blonde hair's on fire Like you're running from the law
Like you're the kind of gone that only comes back for holidays
But I ain't throwing in the towel I'll keep an eye on our old roads
Keep a light on on my porch And keep this old heart safe and sound
Baby you go live it up, I'll hold it down
I'll hold it down
Somewhere down the line you cross my path
At a grocery store pumping gas
But I see the reason by your side For that water on your wet night
I'll hold it down by my tongue
Drink a beer or five until I'm drunk
And hope that maybe some night those little brown eyes
Make you want to see mine for the rest of your life
Just cause I'm holding back Don't mean I'm throwing in the towel
I'll keep an eye on our old roads Keep a light on on my porch
And keep your secret safe and sound Baby you go live it up,
I'll hold it down
Yeah I'ma hold it down
