Holding On To Nothin' Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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

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 onto 

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

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 nothin' left to hold onto 

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 tried
