Hold It Down (the after demo)

They say what goes around comes back one day

And good things come to them who wait

So, I ain't gon' call you up like I want to

To say what I wanna say to you, no

I'll hold it down

Bite my tongue

Drink a beer

And watch you run

Like your long blonde hair's on fire

Like you're runnin' from the law

Like you're the kinda gone that only comes back for holidays

But I ain't throwin' in the towel

I'll keep an eye on our old roads

Keep a light on on my porch

And keep this old heart safe and sound

Baby, you go live it up, I'll hold it down

Yeah, I'ma hold it down

East Tennessee or West LA

Girl, your address can but the past won't change

Now I ain't sayin' I know what you're meant to see

But I damn sure know what you're meant to be

But baby

I'll hold it down

Bite my tongue

Drink a beer

And watch you run

Like your long blonde hair's on fire

Like you're runnin' from the law

Like you're the kinda gone that only comes back for holidays

But I ain't throwin' in the towel

I'll keep an eye on our old roads

Keep a light on on my porch

And keep this old heart safe and sound

Baby, you go live it up, I'll hold it down

I'll hold it down

If somewhere down the line you cross my path

At a grocery store or pumpin' gas

If I see the reason by your side

For that water on your wedding night

I'll hold it down

Bite my tongue

Drink a beer or five

Until I'm drunk

And hope that maybe some night those little brown eyes

Make you wanna see mine for the rest of your life

Just 'cause I'm holdin' back

Don't mean I'm throwin' in the towel

I'll keep an eye on our old roads

Keep a light on on my porch

And keep your secret safe and sound

Baby, you go live it up, I'll hold it down

Yeah, I'ma hold it down
