Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Worked my fingers
Down to bone
Mama's picture
By the phone
Every paycheck
Barely lands
Still I hold you
In these hands
[Pre-Chorus]
All this time
All this trying
Every day
I keep buying
One more chance
At your love
[Chorus]
Blood
Sweat and tears
I gave you all of mine
I wore my heart down
One beat at a time
If I should fall
Baby
One day when I die
Don't let me go
Don't let me drift from your mind
(oh, don't forget me)
Don't let me go
Don't let me fall from your mind
[Verse 2]
Scuffed-up shoes and
Second shift
Your red lipstick
On my lips
Tiny kitchen
Cheap red wine
But it felt like
Paradise
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fade
If I stumble
If this proud old world crumbles
Promise me
You’ll still hear
[Chorus]
Blood
Sweat and tears
I gave you all of mine
I wore my heart down
One beat at a time
If I should fall
Baby
One day when I die
Don't let me go
Don't let me drift from your mind
(oh, remember)
Don't let me go
Don't let me fall from your mind
[Bridge]
Lay me down in that Sunday suit
Sing my name like a hallelujah
Tell our story on a front porch swing
Hold my love in every little thing
(yeah, every little thing)
[Chorus]
Blood
Sweat and tears
I gave you all of mine
I wore my heart down
One beat at a time
If I should fall
Baby
One day when I die
Don't let me go
Don't let me drift from your mind
(oh, don't forget me)
Don't let me go
Don't let me fall from your mind
