The bottle is half empty and the ashtray's getting full Her eyes are sore from crying but there's nothing she can do She loved him like the farmers love the rain when there's a drought She's lost the man that she can't live without She'd lie awake at night thinking about the fight they had The yelling and the screaming and the sound of that door slam Well this heart as been broken just one too many times She's had enough she's pushing him aside Chorus Coz now he's gone she's wiped those tears away Because she knows that things will be ok And she's back up in the saddle she's not letting go Although she's on her own She is strong and holding on Three thousand acres well she's got a lot to do But she's not about to break down and let daddy's farm fall through This land meant everything to him she's gonna do what's right She'll break her back to keep this place alive Chorus Sometimes she gets lonely when she thinks about the past But now she's doing the only thing that makes her smile at last Chorus She's holding on
