Holding Things Together lyrics
by Merle Haggard
Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children, it's a job meant for two
Alice, please believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone
Today was Angie's birthday, I guess it slipped your mind
I tried twice to call you, with no answer either time
But the postman brought a present I mailed some days ago
I just signed it "Love, from Mama" so Angie wouldn't know
Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children, it's a job meant for two
Alice, please believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone
Alice please believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone
