Holding Things Together

Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children it's a job meant for two
Alice please believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone

Today was Angie's birthday I guess it slipped your mind
I tried twice to call you but no answer either time
But the postman brought a present I mailed some days ago
I just signed it "Love, from mama", so Angie wouldn't know

Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children it's a job meant for two
Alice please believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone

Alice please believe me, I can't go on and on
Holding things together with you gone
