[Spoken Intro: Bear Rinehart, Backing]
Get your hands together Tennessee, are you ready?
Yeah!
Hang on!
Hang on

[Verse 1: Bear Rinehart]
First touch of summer, she's got your t-shirt on
Sun's going down, school's out, the stars are coming on
You can rewind it, but you can't ever feel like you do tonight
Make a movie in your mind, but don't rush it
Boy, you're about to see the light

[Chorus: Bear Rinehart]
So hang on, to the light in your eyes and the feelin'
Hang on, to your love-drunk original reason
Hang on, to the small town you love, but you're leavin'
Oh, you won't be a fool for so long
Hang on

[Verse 2: Bear Rinehart]
If you listen to the voices inside, they won't do you wrong
You can look back over your shoulder, yeah, but don't look too long
It takes time to realize this life's gonna pass you by

[Chorus: Bear Rinehart]
So hang on, to the light in your eyes and the feelin'
Hang on, to your love-drunk original reason
Hang on, to the small town you love, but you're leavin'
You won't be a fool for so long
[Bridge: Backing, Bear Rinehart]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, these things, they take time
All these things, these things, they take time
All these things I've learned, it's never a straight line
And all these things take time, these things, they take time
So hang on to the light in your eyes and the feeling
Hang on to your love-drunk original reason
'Cause all these things take time, these things, they take time
And all these things I've learned, it's never a straight line

[Chorus: Bear Rinehart]
So hang on, to the light in your eyes and the feeling, yeah
So hang on, to your love-drunk original reason
Hang on, to the small town you love, but you're leaving
Oh, you won't be a fool for so long

[Outro: Bear Rinehart, Backing]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, these things, they take time
Yeah, hang on
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, these things, they take time
Hang on
All these things take time, these things, they take time
Hang on
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, these things, they take time
