Twenty-nine And Holding Lyrics - Aaron Tippin

Oh, she's tender but she's tough 

And still willing to love 

If there's a man, man enough to be her man 

But right now her hands are full 

Fighting back the tears and the wolves 

But she keeps smiling just as hard as she can 

She's twenty-nine and holding 

The world on her shoulders 

They're all counting on mama 

And she ain't about to let them down 

Oh, there's no time to worry about turning thirty 

When you're twenty-nine and holding 

The world on your shoulders 

Yes, the one who she once loved 

Just didn't have the guts 

To be a lover or father or much of a man 

Yeah, he just had to have his space 

So she put him in his place 

Out in the road with his suitcase in his hand 

As she's twenty-nine and holding 

The world on her shoulders 

And they're all counting on mama 

And she ain't about to let them down 

There's no time to worry about turning thirty 

When you're twenty-nine and holding 

The world on your shoulders 

Well, it's the kids and it's the job 

It's the kitchen and it's the mop 

Hey, it's the life of a woman that's on her own 

And Lord, I just gotta say 

That we all ought to be ashamed 

If our biggest trouble is just turning old and gray 

When you know she's twenty-nine and holding 

The world on her shoulders 

They're all counting on mama 

And she ain't about to let them down 

Oh, there's no time to worry about turning thirty 

When you're twenty-nine and holding 

The world on your shoulders 

She's twenty-nine and holding 

The world on her shoulders
