[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Same old story That everybody knows It's one heart holdin' on And one letting go [Verse 2] While they write, Lord, he tells her How they two, will settle down But she only hears the highway And a voice, in some other town [Bridge] And the harder, he holds her The more she slips away [Chorus] Same old story That everybody knows It's one heart holdin' on And one letting go [Outro] Same old story
