[Verse 1]
Met you at the fairground gate
Rain on your blue work coat
You laughed like a church bell ring
I felt my old heart float
I was late, I was beat, I was broke
You still looked right at me
Said, "Boy, if you mean what you say"
Then you took my hand so easy
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know what I got
And I know what I lost
I been chased by my own bad luck
Paid that devil-crossed cost
If you turn, I turn too
If you run, I run fast
I got mud on my boots, baby
But I want this to last
[Chorus]
Hold you tight, hold you tight
Till the whole world fades from sight
Hold you tight, hold you tight
I ain't lettin' go tonight
(hold you tight)
(hold you tight)
I found my true love, I found my light
[Verse 2]
You got a scar by your left eye
From a kid and a backyard fence
You said love ain't a lucky hand
It's a choice you make intense
So I learn your morning coffee
Learn the way you like your shirt
Learn the words that calm your storm
Learn the signs when it starts to hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know what I got
And I know what I lost
I been chased by my own bad luck
Paid that devil-crossed cost
If you turn, I turn too
If you run, I run fast
I got mud on my boots, baby
But I want this to last
[Chorus]
Hold you tight, hold you tight
Till the whole world fades from sight
Hold you tight, hold you tight
I ain't lettin' go tonight
(hold you tight)
(hold you tight)
I found my true love, I found my light
[Bridge]
If the hard times come knockin'
I won't leave you standin' there
I'll patch every crack with my bare hands
I'll bleed for the love we share
Let the banjo argue, let the harp cry
Let my pride fall down
I was lost in a hundred towns
You made me come back around
[Chorus]
Hold you tight, hold you tight
Till the whole world fades from sight
Hold you tight, hold you tight
I ain't lettin' go tonight
(hold you tight)
(hold you tight)
I found my true love, I found my light
