Texas can't hold me and Nashville don't want me

There's a girl that I know lives down San Antone way

Her pretty blue eyes man they cut like a knife

You know they'll find me in a whiskey filled haze

There's a note on the table that threatens to label

Me lonely and down on my knees

And I know she's my wife but this guitar's my life

So I'll pick until my fingers bleed

You know I never imagined that all this would happen

The first time I heard ole Willie Nelson sing

Those blue eyes are crying just one more love dying

You can't hold it all together (Hold it all together)

With a little diamond ring

Down to a nightly obsession a backseat confession

I'll just block out the thoughts in my brain

Because the storm that's inside aint gonna stop me tonight

From dancing like a fool in the rain

You know I never imagined that all this would happen

The first time I heard ole Willie Nelson sing

Those blue eyes are crying just one more love dying

You can't hold it all together (Hold it all together)

With a little diamond ring
