Holding On Without You

Rough winds, steady hearts, stories left untold

Simple lives, made of iron, worth their weight in gold

She was a tiny ruff tuff tomboy, her daddy's fire and pride

Handed him tools, watched the old truck roar, her spirit unconfined

Momma spun dreams of silky dresses, but she danced to her own tune

Barefoot on the dirt, with a fire in her belly, under the silver moon

Growing up, standing strong, in a world that tried to steer her wrong

Her heart beat loud and free, in her own symphony

Hold on tight, love across the line, through the night and early dawn

Holding hands, loving hard, even when he's gone so far away

Waiting for that call, her goodnight prayer, her heart's silent song

In a rough and tumble world, she’s her own forever girl

Met a man with calloused hands, a cowboy in the dust and rain

He became her whole, her world, through joy and pain

Oilfield life, long highway nights, she’s the light he sees at dawn

Holding the fort, brave and strong, until he's back where she belongs

Sad goodbyes, fleeting days, longing in the quiet haze

Her love is fierce and true, in all she’s gotta do

Hold on tight, love across the line, through the night and early dawn

Holding hands, loving hard, even when he's gone so far away

Waiting for that call, her goodnight prayer, her heart's silent song

In a rough and tumble world, she’s her own forever girl

Drops of oil and tears, dreams built through years

He’s the hero in her story, overcoming fears

They are the team, the dream, the silent scream, holding tight in the quiet still

Love stands tall, through it all, it always will

Stars above, whispering their tales of love so true

Her heart, his home, a love that always comes through
