The very first time I was learning to ride
Down a steep hill, I took a right
There was a car coming at me
And you said, don't let go,
Keep your eye on the road
Whatever happened is already gone
Don't let go, don't let go
Then when I was ten you gave me a guitar
That said, I'm gonna be a big star
You said, son, you better practice real hard
But to me you already are
Don't let go, just hold on
Keep your eye on the road
And your heart in the sun
Don't let go, don't let go
Then she took you to the doctor
see what that headache was really about
I feared the news would be bad
Now I'm saying these words to you,
Don't let go, just hold on
Keep your eye on the road
Whatever happened is already gone
Don't let go, don't let go
and all my fear disappear
And I know exactly why we are here
It's for this moment to recognize
And you will always be by my side
And I won't let go, I'm holding on
Whatever happened is already gone
I won't let go, I'm holding on
Whatever happened is already gone
