Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fifty-seven and still standing tall
Two kids grown up, got a home through it all
Twenty-seven years in the smoke and steel
Now the quiet hits hard, too real
I taught my hands to hold the line
Now they shake some nights and I don’t know why
Boots by the door, ring on my chain
I breathe in deep, let out the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I been trained to never fold
But some ghosts don’t let you go
When the house goes still
That old fear steals
[Chorus]
Hold the line, hold the line
I’m still here, I’m still mine
Hold the line, hold the line
Love pulls me back each time
(hold the line)
(hold the line)
[Verse 2]
Kitchen light on, she finds me awake
Says my name soft, lets my shoulders break
Kids call home, laugh through the phone
That sound reminds me I’m not alone
I’ve seen sirens, I’ve seen fire
I’ve carried weight and walked the wire
Now I count breaths in the dark
And let her hand calm the spark
[Pre-Chorus]
I been trained to never fold
But some ghosts don’t let you go
When the house goes still
That old fear steals
[Chorus]
Hold the line, hold the line
I’m still here, I’m still mine
Hold the line, hold the line
Love pulls me back each time
(hold the line)
(hold the line)
[Bridge]
If I flinch, don’t look away
Say my name, make me stay
I’m not weak, I’m worn and scarred
Still beating here, still guarding the yard
I’ve got a wife, I’ve got a home
I’ve got two kids and blood and bone
So if the night comes crashing in
I rise again, I rise again
[Final Chorus]
Hold the line, hold the line
I’m still here, I’m still mine
Hold the line, hold the line
Love pulls me back each time
Hold the line, hold the line
Sun comes back, I’m gonna be fine
(hold the line)
(hold the line)
