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 the look that made whiskey feel sober
Melted ice with one touch of her hand
And the rollin' stone that I always was had a place to land

In a world full of heartaches and tough breaks
And winnin' way less than you lose
Well, 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
Somethin' worth holdin' on to

No, you don't take a good love for granted
Or the rock that it's on turns to sand
It took lettin' her slip through my hands to understand

In a world full of heartaches and tough breaks
And winnin' way less than you lose
Well, 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
Somethin' worth holdin' on to

And it's long sleepless nights, it's goin' out of your mind
It's tellin' yourself everything but the truth

In a world full of heartaches and tough breaks
And winnin' way less than you lose
Well, 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
Somethin' worth holdin' on to
'Cause she was somethin' worth holdin' on to
