Holding Things Together (2007) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children, it's a job that's meant for two
Alice, please, believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone

[Verse 2]
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 package I'd mailed some days ago
I just signed it "Love, from Mama" so Angie wouldn't know

[Verse 3]
Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children, it's a job that's meant for two
Alice, please, believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone

[Outro]
Alice please, believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone
