Worth Hanging Onto
Timeless Love: Hangin' Onto What Matters
Lyrics
Good or bad these days
Reflecting on the current state of things, whether positive or negative.
It's easier to throw away
Expressing the inclination to discard things when they become challenging.
The tried and true when it ain't what it use to be
Acknowledging that what was once reliable may have changed.
You can't hold the hands of time
Highlighting the inability to control or stop the passage of time.
No matter how hard you try
Emphasizing the futility of resisting time's impact.
But that don't mean that times you're enemy
Suggesting that time is not an adversary in all situations.
Cause life gets better as the years go by
Positively stating that life improves with the passing years.
Like this truck, it might be worn out covered in dust
Comparing life's challenges to a worn-out truck covered in dust.
But it still runs, it still runs
Highlighting the enduring functionality of the worn-out truck.
And these boots. They're a long shot from being brand new
Acknowledging that personal items, like boots, may show signs of age.
But some things are worth Hangin onto
Stating that certain things are worth preserving despite their condition.
Like grandpas rifle, mamas bible
List of specific items (rifle, Bible) that hold sentimental value.
And you
Affirming the importance of the person being addressed.
A love like yours and mine
Describing a love that developed over time, not instantly.
Didn't happen over night
Emphasizing the gradual nature of the relationship.
It took break downs that didn't break us up
Referring to challenges that strengthened rather than ended the relationship.
It takes work to make it work
Expressing the idea that relationships require effort to endure.
And we both have a lot to learn
Acknowledging mutual learning and growth within the relationship.
But I promise you I'll be holding onto us
Promising commitment to the relationship despite challenges.
Like this truck, it might be worn out covered in dust
Reiteration of the metaphor of the worn-out truck.
But it still runs, it still runs
Emphasizing the enduring functionality of the truck.
And these boots. They're a long shot from being brand new
Reiteration of the aged boots metaphor.
But some things are worth Hangin onto
Reaffirming the value of preserving certain things despite their condition.
Like grandpas rifle, mamas bible
Reiteration of specific sentimental items (rifle, Bible) as worth preserving.
And you
Reaffirming the importance of the person being addressed.
This ol Chevrolet, my last name and the Bible verse that found you
Mentioning specific items (Chevrolet, last name, Bible verse) with sentimental value.
Some things are worth Hangin onto
Reiteration that certain things are worth preserving.
Like this truck, it might be worn out covered in dust
Reiteration of the worn-out truck metaphor.
But it still runs, it still fires right up
Highlighting the enduring functionality of the truck.
And these boots. They're a long shot from being brand new
Reiteration of the aged boots metaphor.
But some things are worth Hangin onto, yeah some things I'll always hang onto
Reaffirming the value of preserving certain things despite their condition.
grandpas rifle, mamas bible
Reiteration of specific sentimental items (rifle, Bible) as worth preserving.
And you
Reaffirming the importance of the person being addressed.
