The extra forty dollars went for food The porch needs paint but I ain't in the mood The grass keeps growin' and it needs mowin' too Some days you know it's all that I can do Holdin' on, to what I'm holdin' to The man down at the bank he called today Asking me just when I plan to pay The mortgage and the car notes overdue These days you it's all that I can do Holdin' on, to what I'm holdin' to I though I had a grip on things Then it slipped away Now I just keep on fallin' every day She's gettin' all dressed up and lookin' fine But I didn't send those flowers and I didn't buy that wine I turned away 'cause I can't face the truth Some days you know it's all that I can do Holdin' on, to what I'm holdin' to I though I had a grip on things And then it slipped away Now I just keep on fallin' every day The extra forty dollars went for food The porch needs paint but I ain't in the mood The grass keeps growin', it needs mowin' too Some days you know it's all that I can do Holdin' on, to what I'm holdin' to
