Holding Things Together

Merle Haggard

Holding things together
Ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children
It's a job meant for twoAlice, please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you goneToday was Angie's birthday
I guess it slipped your mind
I tried twice to call you
But no answer either timeBut the postman brought a present
I mailed some days ago
I just signed it love from mama
So Angie wouldn't knowHolding things together
Ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children
It's a job meant for twoAlice, please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you goneAlice, please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone
