Im Holding You Down by Travis Howard Lyrics
[Verse 1]
'94 Corolla with a busted seal
Barely got the money for the telephone bill
Them dollar store dresses hang on you so nice
Honey, can we just stay at the house tonight?
[Verse 2]
LIke a bee to sugar water on a dry hot June
Ain't a man in Mississippi hadn't thought about you
And give you everything you wanted on a silver plate
It keeps me up at night knowin' that I can't
[Chorus]
And I'm holdin' you down
And you, you're too much for this town
And I'd love you all my life
But love alone would never do
To keep a girl like you
[Verse 3]
The summer that I met you, it was like a dream
I was livin' on the highway, you were seventeen
And I promised you forever like a man's gonna do
I swear to God I wasn't tryin' to make a fool of you
[Chorus]
But I'm holdin' you down
And you, you're too much for this town
And I'd love you all my life
But love alone would never do
To keep a girl like you
[Bridge]
They say a woman's heart'll tell her when it's time to go
But the way you love me, I don't think your heart's gon' know
So tonight, I'm gonna put whatever's mine in the truck
And let it roll a little 'fore I start the engine up
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm holdin' you down
You run, you got to get out of this town
And I'd have loved you all my life
But love alone would never do
To keep a girl like you
'94 Corolla with a busted seal
Barely got the money for the telephone bill
Them dollar store dresses hang on you so nice
Honey, can we just stay at the house tonight?
[Verse 2]
LIke a bee to sugar water on a dry hot June
Ain't a man in Mississippi hadn't thought about you
And give you everything you wanted on a silver plate
It keeps me up at night knowin' that I can't
[Chorus]
And I'm holdin' you down
And you, you're too much for this town
And I'd love you all my life
But love alone would never do
To keep a girl like you
[Verse 3]
The summer that I met you, it was like a dream
I was livin' on the highway, you were seventeen
And I promised you forever like a man's gonna do
I swear to God I wasn't tryin' to make a fool of you
[Chorus]
But I'm holdin' you down
And you, you're too much for this town
And I'd love you all my life
But love alone would never do
To keep a girl like you
[Bridge]
They say a woman's heart'll tell her when it's time to go
But the way you love me, I don't think your heart's gon' know

'Cause I'm holdin' you down

And I'd have loved you all my life
But love alone would never do
To keep a girl like you
