Holding On To Nothin' Lyrics - Charlie Louvin

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 nothin' left to hold on to 

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothin' 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 nothin' left to hold on to 

[ piano ] 

We were young and foolishly mistaken 

The 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 hard how long we've tried 

Why do we keep holding on... 

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