Nothin' Bu

Holdin' on, safely to fall
Like there's no tomorrow forsaking it all
Bound and determined to share all of our days
Loving and learning our special ways
That i'm holdin' onto and you've been lettin' go
And wherever you've gone to
I'm so far below
You're way over me
I can't even see how
Someday i'll need you the way you don't need me now
Movin' on, heart in a stall
Like there's no tomorrow
No beating at all
Bound and determined to forget all of our days
Reliving and learning our special ways
I'm still holdin' onto
Maybe no lettin' go
And wherever you've gone to
I may never know
The way you're over me
I can't even see how
Someday i'll need you the way you don't need me now
And you don't need me now
Like you needed me then
And i'm wondering how i'll be feeling when
I'm way over you
I can't even see how
Someday i'll need you the way you don't need me now
No way i'll need you the way you don't need me now.

There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return it's only right
I set you free
I know i'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When i won't honor what we've vowed

Chorus
But i'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you

We can't deny that this one's
Out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as i can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standin' between you and me

(repeat chorus)

And there's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we can stand our ground

We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you

I'm still holdin' on to you...

We've all seen enough wrong and right
To know everything's not black and white
There's always something in between
No matter how long or well you live
You don't get anything you don't give
Still no slate is clean

For better or worse, anybody can
Take a look around and find a better man
Upright no matter how he's faring
No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing
The shoes he's wearing
They don't make the man

So many people out running around
Handicapped before they hit the ground
Thinking there's nowhere to go
Shouldn't we all be looking for ways
To keep on seeing our better days
We're not chained to what we know

But if your eyes are open and your mind is free
There's no tellin' what a man can be
Upright no matter how you're faring
No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
The shoes you're wearing
They don't make the man

But if you can't walk through the best of times and the worst of times
Find your feet still walking the line
You'll never carry the load worth bearing
No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
The shoes you're wearing
They won't make the man
The shoes you're wearing
They won't make the man

Blue kentucky highway, headin' for the line
She hadn't said a word all night,
But the wheels are turnin' in her mind
Now i was ridin' shotgun,
And i knew things had gone awry
Just as soon as she dropped me off
At the side of the road
And she let that gravel fly
Chorus
Now i'm walkin' in the moonlight,
Seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right,
Showin' me nothin' but the taillights
And that's about as lonely
As the highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
Was it somethin' that i did to her,
Or the things i never said
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
Now if i even make it back to town
Before the sun comes up
I'm gonna hit every parking spot around
'til i find that pick-up truck
Chorus
Now i'm talkin' in the moonlight
Seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showin' me nothin' but the taillights
And that's about as lonely
As a highway's ever been
Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind
Well i'll bet right now she's laughin'
At how she brought me to my knees
But she won't be laughin' half as loud
When she gives me back my keys
Chorus
She'll be walkin' in the moonlight,
Seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights
She won't ever see again
She hit me with a left and right
And with nothin' but the taillights
And i know that's about as lonely
As a highway's ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
There she goes, here i come
