[Verse 1] Met her through a friend, just a Saturday crowd She had two little ones, running wild and loud I was twenty-something, just drifting along But there was something in her laugh that felt like home She was younger by months, but she felt so wise Held the whole damn world in those mama eyes Didn't plan it that way, but I fell real fast Built a life on love we knew was built to last [Chorus] So Lord hear me now, if you're taking names tonight There's a cost to keep her, I'll pay it twice You can't take my sleep, my strength, my soul But don't let her go, don't let her go [Verse 2] We're in our thirties, one night she couldn't breathe Said her chest felt tight, hit her like a thief Rushed her to the ER, heart stuck in my throat Heard the word embolism, nearly lost all hope I held her hand while they wheeled her down the hall Made a deal with God, promised him it all Thought that was the worst, then came the fall When we almost lost her and our baby boy [Chorus] So Lord hear me now, if you're keeping score I ain't got much, but I'll give you more Take my time, my truck, my gold But don't let her go, don't let her go [Bridge] Now we've got more little feet across this floor But each heartbeat feels like an knock on that same door I took her in, now I hold her tight Pray I wake up with her every night I'm a tougher man than I used to be Not when it comes to losing her, you see She's my reason, my roots, my fight She's the wild I had every right [Chorus] So Lord if you're listening, to a broke down man With calloused hands and a desperate plan Take my breath, my pride, my home But don't let her go, God don't let her go [Outro] (Instrumental)
