Holding Back

Like a kid who can’t lay off the first pitch Like a cowboy can’t keep his truck out of the ditch Like a sunset lingering on a summer afternoon I’m no good at holding back from you Like a mockingbird can’t help but wanna sing Like a guitar wants a brand new set of strings Like the ring of fire that burned around Johnny and June I’m no good at holding back from you I could try to play it cool But I’d just look like a fool There’s no disguise my heart can use Nothing that you wouldn’t see right though I’m no good at holding back from you [Bridge] I could try to play it cool But I’d just look like a fool There’s no disguise my heart can use Nothing that you wouldn’t see right though Like a soldier far from home longs to be missed Like a porch light wants to see a first kiss Like a hammock wants a summer breeze And nothin’ else to do I’m no good at holding back from you You’re the one temptation, baby That I never could refuse I’m no good at holding back We both know it’s a fact I’m no good at holding back from you
