Lyrics for Song: Twenty-Nine And Holding
Lyrics for Album: People Like Us
(Aaron Tippin/Marcus Franklin Johnson)
Oh,she's tender but she's tough
And still willing to love
If there is a man,man enough to be her man
Fighting back the tears and the wolves
But she keeps smiling just as hard as she can
She's twenty-nine and holding the world on her shoulder
They're all counting on mama
And she ain't about to let them down
(Oh)there's no time to worry about turning thirty
When your twenty-nine and holding
The world on your shoulders
Yes the one who she once loved
Just didn't have the guts
To be a lover or father or much of a man
Yeah,he just had to have his space
So she put him in his place
Out in the road with his suitcase in hand
She's twenty-nine and holding the world on her shoulder
They're all counting on mama
And she ain't about to let them down
(Oh)there's no time to worry about turning thirty
When your twenty-nine and holding
The world on your shoulders
Well,it's the kids and it's the job
It's like the kitchen and it's a mop
Hey,it's the life of a woman that's on her own
And Lord,I just gotta say
That we all ought to be ashamed
If our biggest trouble is just turning old and gray
She's twenty-nine and holding the world on her shoulder
They're all counting on mama
And she ain't about to let them down
(Oh)there's no time to worry about turning thirty
When your twenty-nine and holding
The world on your shoulders
She's twenty-nine and holding the world on her shoulders |
