[Verse 1]
There was a time when all you knew was to be strong
You rode horses in the sun
You rode horses in the sun
You see, that I am the one

[Chorus]
And all the same ties that hold us apart
Are the ones that we love
I’ve got your name by my number
Don’t leave me, don’t let me go on

[Verse 2]
Billy took your heart on the 31st year
Of your parents' relationship that started out of fear
He said, “Son, don’t you live your life like me”
Now if this is the town and this is the place
If you are the one to give disgrace a name
Then so be it

[Chorus]
And all the same ties that hold us apart
Are the ones that we love
And I’ve got your name by my number
Don’t leave me, don’t let me go on
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
And all the same ties that hold us apart
Are the ones that we love
And I’ve got your name by my number
Don’t leave me, don’t let me go on
