[Verse 1] The banker came like a bad November With papers folded cold and clean There’s dust where Daddy’s corn once stood And cracks run through these fields of green You looked at me across that porch swing Storms in your eyes were gatherin’ But through that dark came dawn a-risin’ And I felt your broken heart still tryin’ [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, the wind won’t win forever Ride on, ride on, we’ll ride on out together Through the dark till mornin’, we’ll make it through this weather Hold on, ride on… ’cause true love keeps on They can take the rows, they can take the rain But they can’t wash away our names No, don’t think this road is over It just bends where we can’t see any further [Verse 2] Old Chevy runnin’ on a prayer now Dog asleep beside the gate We’ve seen enough hard years to know babe Mercy always seems to show up late Your hand found mine in that sunset fading Like faith still burnin’ through the smoke And in the silence of that evenin’ I heard hope in every word you spoke [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, the wind won’t win forever Ride on, ride on, we’ll ride on out together Through the dark till mornin’, we’ll make it through this weather Hold on, ride on… ’cause true love keeps on They can take the rows, they can take the rain But they can’t wash away our names No, don’t think this road is over It just bends where we can’t see any further [Bridge] There’s a crack in every old foundation But light gets in through broken things And if tomorrow comes like thunder breakin’ We’ll face it wearin’ wedding rings [Final Chorus - Lift] Stay close, stay close when the cold wind blows Hang on, hang on where true love grows Through the hard years comin’, we’ll still be together Stay close, hang on… ’cause true love knows... Hold on, hold on, the wind won’t win forever Ride on, ride on, we’ll ride out this weather No, don’t think this road is over It just bends where we can’t see any further [Outro] Hold on… ride on… ’Cause true love keeps on Hold on… ride on… True love keeps on keeping on
