[Verse 1]
Terra met Steven on a cold red dirt day
At Fort Lewis, where the young men pray
Boots in the mud and a name on a tag
He said, "Dance with me," and she never looked back
[Verse 2]
Nineteen years gone like a match in the dark
From army barracks to a ring and a heart
She packed her life in a worn-out Ford
And followed that promise across the border road
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the maps all change
But the hurt stays the same
When the night gets long
She still tastes his name
[Chorus]
Terra, hold on tight
Two Rivers keeps the night
Terra, hold on tight
Love cuts deep as ice
She gave him her hand
Gave him her home
Now Two Rivers knows
What they carried alone
[Verse 3]
The house on the hill has a screen door moan
Coffee gone cold by the telephone
Some days he laughs, some days he fades
Like a flag in the wind on a rainy parade
[Pre-Chorus]
Still the church bells ring
And the old winds sing
He came home alive
But he didn't come back the same
[Chorus]
Terra, hold on tight
Two Rivers keeps the night
Terra, hold on tight
Love cuts deep as ice
She gave him her hand
Gave him her home
Now Two Rivers knows
What they carried alone
[Bridge]
Nineteen winters, nineteen scars
A wedding band and a few broke parts
If love's a road, it's a gravel knife
Still she rides that line with her whole damn life
[Chorus]
Terra, hold on tight
Two Rivers keeps the night
Terra, hold on tight
Love cuts deep as ice
She gave him her hand
Gave him her home
Now Two Rivers knows
What they carried alone
