George Strait Lyrics
"Holding My Own"

(Dean Dillon - Pamela Belford)

There are people who don't know me
Who must think I've got it made
From all outward appearances
I guess it looks that way.

I've got good friends and family
They let me know they care
I got a job to keep me goin'
And a car to get me there.

I'm holdin' my own
But I'd rather be holdin' you
I can make it alone
But not like I made it with you
Without you here
This house just ain't no home
How long can I go on holdin' my own?

There's brand new show that's playin'
At the movies down the street
I'll probably go there after work
Then stop somewhere to eat.

I've got cable on my TV
And I'll leave her on all night
While I dose off to sleep
And dream that I'm alright.

I'm holdin' my own
But I'd rather be holdin' you
I can make it alone
But not like I made it with you
Without you here
This house just ain't no home
How long can I go on holdin' my own?

How long can I go on holdin' my own?...
