Holding Things Together - Merle Haggard (Lyrics)

This is a Oldie but goody Country Western heartbreak / love song by Merle Haggard.

Dwight Yoakam just talked about this song on the Country Music documentary. He started breaking down... and after listening to this, I understand why

I must have watched a replay of that show, because that's why I'm here. And you're right Mark, I understand why he had such a hard time talking about it.

[@buddimack]

I watched it what a great tear jerker

[@sjoh104041]

As a single father that raised three children from the ages of 20 months, 4, and 6. This song strikes a deep cord. They were my rock that saved my life. Grew up to be wonderful adults.

Merle, it's songs like this that you'll be remembered by country music forever. Music of the heart. Today's country doesn't have heart OR soul.

[@RoadCoder]

Dwight Yoakam sent me here. RIP Hag.......

[@ElTouroFogoso]

Hmmm... Sorry RoadCoder , not quite sure what you're trying to express in your comment. Sent you here for what? RIP Hag???

[@chadbeermann2744]

+ElTouroFogoso Dwight suggested this song as a class in song writing. RIP is Rest in Peace.

[@ElTouroFogoso]

Ohhh... I understan now RoadCoder and Chad. I just heard the news today. And yes, may he rest in peace. And we will dearly miss him for sure. However, we still have all of his music to remember him by. And again... thank you so much for all the information Chad. Sincerely, ElTouroFogoso

[@linoleluminum2017]

Merle was so talented , he played the fiddle and the guitar and I don't know what else and that voice was extra special

[@ponceclovis]

Thank you for the upload!

[@ElTouroFogoso]

You're very welcome Ponce. Gotta love it, huh? Who can't help but loving such a beautiful song... However, I do believe that it's I that should thank you for your comment . Thank you very much. I'm sure glad you enjoyed the video. And if you would, please tell your family and friends about my channel. I would truly appreciate it very much. With gratitude, ElTouroFogoso

[@ponceclovis]

+ElTouroFogoso Do you like Vince Gill?

[@ElTouroFogoso]

Sure do Ponce... And... and as soon as I finish working on, and upload the batch of 60s and 70s 'Oldies" that I'm working on, I will see about getting to some of his music. However, If you have a specific song in mind, please let me know, and I will do my best to upload that one first as soon as I possible can. Okay? With Gratitude, ElTouroFogoso

[@ponceclovis]

+ElTouroFogoso If you could post "Waiting For Your Love" by Vince Gill that would be so awesome! Nobody has that song! Thank you I will subscribe :).

[@ElTouroFogoso]

Hey Ponce. I am so very sorry. I know that it's been a very long time, but I have not forgotten your request for me to upload the song 'Waiting For Your Love' by Vince Gill. I have been looking for this song all this time. But, I have had no luck locating the song. However, I did find the song 'Waiting For Your Love' by Stevie B, and this song will be included in the batch of songs that I am working on at this time, and I will begin uploading these songs some time next week. I truly hope that the song by Stevie B will be ok with you. Once again sorry for the delay, and thanks again for your request. But most of all, for your patience. With respect and gratitude, ElTouroFogoso
