Ricky Skaggs Lyrics
"Hold on Tight (Let It Go)"

(Don Schlitz - Paul Overstreet)
Ricky Skaggs & Sharon White

(SW)
Well, I know that I'm in trouble when I think I know it all
My pride always takes a bow just before I fall
(RS)
But you're just as right as me and I'm just as wrong as you
(Both)
We're in this love together and we're bound to see it through.

Chorus:
(RS)
So hold on tight
(SW)
Let it go
(Both)
Our love is always strongest when we let our weakness show
(RS)
We don't have to give in to the prideful wind that blows
(SW)
If we hold on tight
(Both)
Let it go.

(RS)
A careless word in anger can wound another's heart
In self-defence a wall is built that keeps us worlds apart
(SW)
Well, I'm as much to blame as you and you're as innocent as me
(Both)
There's one locked door between us and forgiveness is the key.

Chorus:
(SW)
So hold on tight
(RS)
Let it go
(Both)
Our love is always strongest when we let our weakness show
(SW)
We don't have to give in to the prideful wind that blows
(RS)
If we hold on tight
(Both)
Let it go.

(Both)
Hold on tight, to the love that lives inside us
Don't hang on to the feelings that divide us.

(Both)
Hold on tight
(RS)
Let it go
Our love is always strongest when we let our weakness show
(RS)
We don't have to give in to the prideful wind that blows
Hold on tight
(Both)
Hold on tight, let it go
(SW)
If we hold on tight.

(Both)
Hold on tight, let it go
(RS)
If we hold on tight, let it go
(Both)
Let it go, let it go...
