Hold

[Verse 1]
Every time daddy left, he said, "You hold down the fort"
"When a lady's walking in, boy, you better hold that door"
"Hold your temper, hold your tongue 'til you gotta fight and hold your own"
Took me years to take his advice, damn if he ain't right

[Chorus]
Hold a beer, don't hold a grudge, hold on to the ones you love
You can hold your cards, but boy, know when to fold 'em
Hold on to your beliefs, don't hold back on all your dreams
Make some memories 'fore the good Lord calls you home
There's a lot of things in life worth letting go
But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold

[Verse 2]
When I was in a rush, he said, "Better hold your horses"
"Love's one of those things you'll ruin if you force it"
"Hold her hand, hold her tight, hold her closer when she cries"
"Don't hold off 'til tomorrow, 'cause you never know what life holds"

[Chorus]
Hold a beer, don't hold a grudge, hold on to the ones you love
You can hold your cards, but boy, know when to fold 'em
Hold on to your beliefs, don't hold back on all your dreams
Make some memories 'fore the good Lord calls you home
There's a lot of things in life worth letting go
But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold

[Post-Chorus]
You gotta hold, you gotta hold

[Bridge]
Hold your bible with some pride
Don't just pray at night
When the game's about to start
Hold your hat over your heart

[Chorus]
Hold a beer, don't hold a grudge, hold on to the ones you love
You can hold your cards, but boy, know when to fold 'em
Hold on to your beliefs, don't hold back on all your dreams
Make some memories 'fore the good Lord calls you home
There's a lot of things in life worth letting go
But the ones that mean the most, you gotta hold

[Post Chorus]
You gotta hold, you gotta hold

[Outro]
Every time daddy left, he said, "You hold down the fort"
"When a lady's walking in, boy, you better hold that door"
