Hold on Tight
Ricky Skaggs & Sharon White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I know that I'm in trouble when I think I know it all
My pride always takes a bow just before I fall
(RS)
But you're just as right as me and I'm just as wrong as you
(Both)
We're in this love together and we're bound to see it through.
(RS)
Hold on tight
(SW)
Let it go
(Both)
Our love is always strongest when we let our weakness show
(RS)
We don't have to give in to the prideful wind that blows
(SW)
If we hold on tight
(Both)
Let it go.
(RS)
A careless word in anger can wound another's heart
In self defense a wall is built that keeps us worlds apart
(SW)
Well, I'm as much to blame as you and you're as innocent as me
(Both)
There's one locked door between us and forgiveness is the key.
[Chorus]
(Both)
Hold on tight
(RS)
Let it go
Our love is always strongest when we let our weakness show
(RS)
We don't have to give in to the prideful wind that blows
Hold on tight
(Both)
Hold on tight, let it go
(SW)
If we hold on tight.
(Both)
Hold on tight
(RS)
Let it go
(Both)
Let it go, let it go
