Strong

Strong
Like steel in the toe of the work boots I got on
Like the drawl from all them good old boys back home
Like the Mississippi River and who-knows-what-proof liquor
Just a couple sips will get you gone
Strong

Girl, that's you and me down to a T
Just made to make it all lifelong
God only knows what we got down the road
But it's your hand I'm holdin', so we'll keep on goin'
Strong

As a hundred-year oak, new rope on an old tire swing
As the gold in the band with the diamond on your left-hand ring
Yeah, some things ain't built right, break down on a dime
But some things just hold up and stand the test of time

Girl, that's you and me down to a T
Just made to make it all lifelong
God only knows what we got down the road
But it's your hand I'm holdin', so we'll keep on goin'
Strong

Like granddaddy's hands
After workin' fifty years on that land
Strong
That barn that still stands on the back of the farm
After makin' it through all the Tennessee storms

Girl, that's you and me down to a T
Just made to make it all lifelong
And God only knows what we got down the road
But it's your hand I'm holdin', so we'll keep on goin'
Strong
We'll keep goin' strong
Yes, we will

Girl, it's your hand I'm holdin', so we'll keep on goin'
Strong
Goin' strong
Keep goin' strong
