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 everybody knows
One heart holdin' on and one letting go

While they ride, oh, he tells her
How they soon will settle down
But she only hears the highway
And a voice in some other town
Same old story everybody knows
One heart holdin' on and one letting go

And the harder he holds her
The more she slips away
Same old story everybody knows
One heart holdin' on and one letting go
Same old story
