This heart's been a suitcase on a highway
Lost track of what day and what town
Gettin' gone in the night, no sign of slowin' down
'Til a look that made whiskey feel sober
It melted ice with one touch of her hand
And the rolling stone that I always was had a place to land
In a world full of heartaches and tough breaks
And winning way less than you lose
It's better off with a goodbye when it ain't right
Well, I've been there but I'm tellin' you
You better hang on for dear life
Don't let go if you find you
Something worth holding on to
No, you don't take a good love for granted
Or the rock that it's on turns to sand
It took letting her slip through my hands to understand
In a world full of heartaches and tough breaks
And winning way less than you lose
It's better off with a goodbye when it ain't right
Well, I've been there but I'm telling you
You better hang on for dear life
Don't let go if you find you
Something worth holding on to
And it's a long sleepless nights
It's going out of your mind
It's telling yourself everything but the truth
In a world full of heartaches and tough breaks
And winning way less than you lose
It's better off with a goodbye when it ain't right
Well, I've been there but I'm telling you
You better hang on for dear life
Don't let go if you find you
Something worth holding on to
'Cause she was something worth holding on to
