Aaron Tippin - Twenty-Nine And Holding

(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
