A Man Holdin' On (To a Woman Lettin' Go)

Two young lovers With their bodies on fire Achin' to swim That river of desire Leavin' innocence there On the bank by their clothes A man holdin' on to A woman lettin' go There's a man with a bottle On the other side of town Swimmin' with a memory That he can't drown Lord, it ain't sunk in That she ain't comin' home Oh, a man holdin' on to A woman lettin' go His heart is tellin' him To hang on for dear life 'Cause deep down he knows She's lettin' go for good this time There's a daddy walkin' His daughter down the aisle Fightin' back tears And forcin' a smile Oh, for 22 years He's watched her grow A man holdin' on to A woman lettin' go In the Hill Valley home There's a feeble old man And he's holdin' on to A fragile old hand And the angels are comin' To carry her home Now he's a man holdin' on to A woman lettin' go His heart is tellin' him To hang on for dear life 'Cause deep down he knows She's lettin' go for good this time Two young lovers With their bodies on fire Achin' to swim That river of desire Leavin' innocence there On the bank by their clothes Oh, a man holdin' on To a woman lettin' go A man holdin' on To a woman A woman lettin' go
