[Verse 1] [F] You learned my name by the feed store door I was three weeks broke and he was gone before You slid me change for the coffee I spilled Said, "Honey, even hard roads bend if they will" [F] I was quarter tank and a heart full of rain You had grease on your hands and a stubborn name We talked on a tailgate past closing time Two small-town kids with a crooked line [Pre-Chorus] [F] The mill shut down, my mama cried Your truck kept running, mine wouldn't start We had a town that loves to watch And little room for a broken heart [Chorus] [F] Hold on, hold on We can rise from the ash [F] Hold on, hold on Love can learn how to last [F] Small town love With a wounded heart [F] Hold on, hold on We ain't falling apart (Falling apart) [Verse 2] [F] I took the night shift at the diner off Route 9 You hauled hay all day, still came by on time We counted tips in the bed of your truck And laughed when the old screen door got stuck [F] Then your daddy got sick, the fields ran dry My sister moved south, said we should try Everybody said, "Girl, that's too much weight" But you kissed my cheek and said, "We don't break" [Pre-Chorus] [F] The kitchen went quiet, the bills piled high We kept the porch light burning low You said, "This ain't the end of us" And I said, "Baby, I know" [Chorus] [F] Hold on, hold on We can rise from the ash [F] Hold on, hold on Love can learn how to last [F] Small town love With a wounded heart [F] Hold on, hold on We ain't falling apart (We ain't falling apart) [Bridge] [F] Now the feed store's gone, but we're still here Two worn-out shoes and a brand-new year Your laugh in the yard, my song in the house We built a life where the hard times bow down [Final Chorus] [F] Hold on, hold on We can rise from the ash [F] Hold on, hold on Love can learn how to last [F] Small town love With a wounded heart [F] Hold on, hold on We ain't falling apart [F] Hold on, hold on Yeah, we made it through (Hold on, hold on) [F] Small town love Still coming through (Still coming through)
