Yeah I'm a hold out
I don't change the way just 'cause it's Wednesday
'Cause all the trends that we got now will one day go away
But I'm rooted in never will

They call us hold outs
Working hard to see our marriage go the distance
So all the kids that we're all raising up here with us
Will fear the Lord

And I'm praying that the coming generation
Will understand the work it took to build this nation

'Cause I can shake you with the truth
Or I can show you what to do
Pick up the bible, turn off the news
And love your neighbor
Throw away all those regrets
And call your mama while you can
Don't give up just 'cause it seems so hard right now
Get back up when you get knocked into the ground
Just like a hold out
Yeah I'm a hold out

Yeah you're a hold out
Loving someone who may not deserve your love
So maybe one day all your prayers will wake 'em up
And the blind will see
Here's to the hold outs
Building up your new small business from the ground
Some ten years later it'll hit you hard like
"Wait, we finally made it"

And I'm praying that the coming generation
Will understand the work it took to build this nation

'Cause I can shake you with the truth
Or I can show you what to do
Pick up the bible, turn off the news
And love your neighbor
Throw away all those regrets
And call your mama while you can
Don't give up just 'cause it seems so hard right now
Get back up when you get knocked into the ground
Just like a hold out
Yeah I'm a hold out

'Cause I can shake you with the truth
Or I can show you what to do
Pick up the bible, turn off the news
And love your neighbor
Throw away all those regrets
And call your mama while you can
Don't give up just 'cause it seems so hard right now
Get back up when you get knocked into the ground
Just like a hold out
Yeah I'm a hold out
