A Man Holdin' On (To a Woman Lettin' Go)

[Chorus 1] 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 holding on to a woman letting go [Verse 1] 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 Oh, a man holding on to a woman letting go [Chorus 2] His heart is telling him to hang on for dear life Cause deep down he knows she's letting go for good this time [Verse 2] There's a daddy walking his daughter down the aisle Fighting back tears and forcing a smile Oh, For 22 years he's watched her grow A man holding on to a woman letting go In the Hill Valley Home there's a feeble 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 holding on to a woman letting go [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] [Outro] A man holding on to a woman, a woman letting go
