[Verse 1] I learned it on a back porch step From a hand that shook and a mouth that said Love the ones who pack their bags Love the ones who won’t look back Give them your heart, give them your grace Let them borrow a little of your place Don’t lock the door, don’t turn away Some folks bloom then fade [Chorus] Love the ones that are going to leave Give them your heart, give them your sympathy Love the ones that may leave Don’t doubt, hold them close Before you check out (hold them close) [Verse 2] I seen a ring on leaving bride And a goodbye line nobody spoke enough He drove off with the tailgate down She kept the ring, never made a sound Now every road got a reckonin’ Every love got a little quittin’ So if you find a fragile soul Be the hand that won’t let go [Chorus] Love the ones that are going to leave Give them your heart, give them your sympathy Love the ones that may leave Don’t doubt, hold them close Before you check out (hold them close) [Bridge] We never know what clock runs out Who gets the last word, who leaves town So Luv ‘em soft, and luv ’em true While you still got room to [Chorus] Love the ones that are going to leave Give them your heart, give them your sympathy Love the ones that may leave Don’t doubt, hold them close Before you check out (hold them close)
