Holdin' On

                                  There's a Mountain Dew can with lipstick on it

Rollin' round his truck bed.

He just leaves it back there,

One of the things he has left of her

When he drives into the late day sun

You can see a set of footprints.

He ain't going to clean that windshield,

He'd rather just live with the hurt.



He's holdin' on to the wheel

To the way she made him feel.

To the shifter, to the pictures.

Every precious moment with her.

Like the left behind colors in the sky

When the sun is gone.

He's holdin' on.

Oh, he's holdin' on.



There's that voice mail on his cell phone

He don't dare erase.

She ended with I love you,

And he saves it just in case

It might still be true.

No he ain't through.



He's holdin' on to the wheel

To the way she made him feel.

To the shifter, to the pictures.

Every precious moment with her.

Like the left behind colors in the sky

When the sun is gone.

He's holdin' on.



To the past

To the last time he held her

The breath on his neck.

The three words she said.



Oh, oh, oh,



He's holdin' on to the wheel

To the way she made him feel.

To the shifter, to the pictures.

Every precious moment with her.



He's holdin' on

Yeah, he's holdin' on

He's holdin' on

He's holdin on
