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.
