Holding on to Nothin' Songtext
von Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton

We′re holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to

I'm so tired, of holding on to nothin′
The years have shown no kindness
For the hard times we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream
And still go right on bluffin′
With really, nothing left to hold on to


Oh, why do we keep holding on?
With nothing left, to hold on to?
Let′s be honest, with each other
That's the least, that we can do
I feel guilty, when they envy, me and you
We′re holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to

We were young, and foolishly, mistaken
Victims of a passion, much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show
For all the years, that we've been faking
God only knows, how long, how hard, we′ve tried

Oh, why do we keep holding on?
With nothing left, to hold on to?
Let's be honest, with each other
That′s the least, that we can do
I feel guilty, when they envy, me and you
We're holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to

We're holding on, with nothing left, to hold on to
