Chorus:
On the outside
Your standin’ tall
His knees aren’t shakin’
He won’t let tears fall
On the inside
His heart is breakin’
He won’t let it show
He’s steady as she goes
Sometimes a man is stubborn
She can tell you that first hand
She asks him how he really feels
And how it’s in his head
She turns to hear him answer
Silence to her means no
She’s hopin’ he will stop her
But he’s steady as she goes
Chorus:
On the outside
He’s standin’ tall
His knees aren’t shakin’
He won’t let tears fall
On the inside
His heart is breakin’
He won’t let it show
He’s steady as she goes
Screen door stands behind her
She’s leavin for good this time
Watch him as she walks away
He’s held back by his pride
He knows he really loves her
He scared to let it show
So he chose to be silent
As the woman he loves goes
Chorus:
On the outside
He’s standin’ tall
His knees aren’t shakin’
He won’t let tears fall
On the inside
His heart is breakin’
He won’t let it show
He’s steady as she goes
