I'm Having Trouble Holding On Lyrics

Put my money on a pipe dream

Hit the road and paid my dues

Now the pillow's cold beside me

And there ain't much left to lose

I thought it would be easier

I thought I could settle down

I thought I'd find a lover

Maybe have a couple kids by now

I take the stage, I face the song

I find the strength to carry on

My bones are weary, this road is long

I'm letting go but having trouble holding on

Can I hold up in the fire

Can I breathe into the burn

Hold the reigns a little lighter

And let the pages turn

Held by the river

Safe in my song

Led by the angels

I'll find the dawn

I take the stage, I face the song

I find the strength to carry on

My bones are weary, this road is long

I'm letting go but having trouble holding on

I take the stage, I face the song

I find the strength to carry on

My bones are weary, this road is long

I'm letting go but having trouble holding on

I take the stage, I face the song

I find the strength to carry on

My bones are weary, this road is long

Oh, I'm letting go but having trouble holding on

I'm taking my blows, but I am right where I belong

Never alone, may we all keep holding on
