HOLDING IT TOGETHER GIRL

Ben Krahne– Blake Hill/ Donna Aylor

She’s got a cracked window in the kitchen
But she’s a pro with duct tape
Has scratches on her knees from building a tree house
Somedays she wears a red cape
Another single mother
Doing better than the best she can
Yeah life’s been hard but she’s in charge
Despite the change in her plans

CHORUS
SHE’S A MODERN DAY LAUGH AT HER HEARTACHE
HOLDING IT TOGETHER GIRL
HAS WINGS TO FLY IN A BRAND NEW SKY
WHEN LIFE IS LIKE A TILT A WHIRL
SHE’S TENDER BUT TOUGH, THERE’S NO FLUFF
THE PRESSURE’S MADE HER A PEARL
SHE’S A MODERN DAY LAUGH AT HER HEARTACHE
HOLDING IT TOGETHER GIRL


She works two jobs to pay the mortgage
It takes a lot to raise those boys
Drives a beat up jeep she’s still payin’ on
And the engine makes a funny noise
Ever since ole what’s his name
Made the choice to walk away
She can change a flat and mow the grass
And have time for PTA

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
He never gave the love she needed most
Now he’s calling her on the phone
But little does he know

REPEAT CHORUS

MAKING IT HER OWN WAY
HOLDING IT TOGETHER GIRL
