[Verse 1]
While they dance, how she holds him
Pulls him close and loves him so
While he dreams of another
And counts the days until he lets her go

[Chorus]
Same old story
That everybody knows
It's one heart holdin' on
And one letting go

[Verse 2]
While they write, Lord, he tells her
How they two will settle down
But she only hears the highway
And a voice in some other town

[Bridge]
And the harder he holds her
The more she slips away

[Chorus]
Same old story
That everybody knows
It's one heart holdin' on
And one letting go
[Outro]
Same old story
