My phone rings
She gave me the news
She's three weeks pregnant

Oh you're barely out of school
She says my fathers gonna kill us both
I told her, her face puts my heart in my throat


She was standing out on here front porch
Her hands were shakin' when I met her by the door

She said if you left now I would understand
I opened up the door and took her by the hand


Said Hold on tight, It's gonna be alright

She was showin' in her wedding dress

I was pacin' at the alter, scared to death
I fumbled in my pocket for the wedding ring
She started cryin' when I slid it on her hand


Said Hold on tight, It's gonna be alright


The years roll by and we grew strong
I guess we proved them wrong
They said we'd never last

But love is patient, love is kind
Love forgives and love is blind
Love has seen us thru the good times and the bad


Gettin' hard to get by these days
With no more money

And another baby on the way
When she sees that I am full of fear
She holds me in her arms and whispers in my ear

Hold on Tight, It's gonna be alright
Hold on Tight, It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
