Holding On To Nothin' Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to 

I'm so tired of holding on to nothin' 

The years have shown no kindness 

For the hard times that we've been through 

We've squeezed the life from every dream 

And still go 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 at 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 fakin' 

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 at 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
