Dolly Parton & Porter Wagoner – Holding On To Nothing Lyrics

[Intro]
We’re holding on to nothing left to hold onto

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, why do we keep holding on with nothing 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 nothing left to hold onto

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, why do we keep holding on with nothing 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 nothing left to hold onto
