Purveyor of the bakersfield sound, country singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam grew up in Columbus, Ohio before heading west and finding a home two doors down in Bakersfield, CA. "Honky Tonk Man" and "Guitars and Cadillacs" are classic songs in their own right, but nearly every song Yoakam churns out stays true to his sound and finds popularity among modern country fans, despite the saturation of the pop-oriented contemporary Nashville sound. The most recent release, "Blame the Vain" continues in the routine of solid albums from Mr. Yoakam.

Holding Things Together Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
Holding things together
Ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children
It's a job - meant for two
Alice, please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.
Today was Angie's birthday
I guess it slipped your mind
'Cause I tried twice to call you
With no answer either time
The postman brought a package
I mailed some days ago
I just signed it love from mama
So Angie wouldn't know.
Holding things together
Ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children
It's a job - meant for two
Alice, please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.
Holding things together
With you gone.
