Done playin' these city boy games
Done chasin' those red-eye planes
And killin' myself to reheat a flame
Done wonderin' who's on his line
And what he's doin' with all his time
And if I'm good enough for him to be mine
I just need a love that's simple
He could wear a Stetson or Resistol
'Cause I'm needin', needin', needin'
Somethin' good down to the core
Who keeps it easy, easy, easy
To love like Sunday morn'
The strong and silent type
Who makes me his first choice
That's why I'm holdin', holdin', holdin'
Blue jeans and ridin' his horse
Rough hands and a real strong boy
Throw in a good woman and he don't need much more
So I'll keep on waitin' on him
My salt of the earth, gentleman
I need somethin' to last forever
Like boots and good leather
Yeah, I'm needin', needin', needin'
Somethin' good down to the core
Who keeps it easy, easy, easy
To love like Sunday morn'
The strong and silent type
Who makes me his first choice
That's why I'm holdin', holdin', holdin'
Look who's walkin' up to me and
He's even better than he was in my dreams
That I needed, needed, needed
Someone good down to the core
'Cause he's so easy, easy, easy
To love like Sunday mornin'
Yeah, he's the strong and silent type
He makes me his first choice
So worth holdin', holdin', holdin'
So worth holdin', holdin', holdin'
Always what I needed, needed, needed
It was so worth (holdin', holdin', holdin)
