"Holdin' Heaven" is a song written by Bill Kenner and Thom McHugh, and recorded by American country music artist Tracy Byrd that reached the top of the Billboard, giving Byrd his first Number One single. It was released in May 1993 as the third single from his self-titled debut album.

Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song by calling it "a brassy, hard-driving rhythm and a tale of monumentally lucking out."

The music video takes place at a Wild West Rodeo. It was directed by Gerry Wenner.

This song debuted at number 72 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart dated June 19, 1993. It climbed to Number One in September 1993, holding the top spot for one week. In addition, this was Tracy's first Billboard Number One, and his only Number One single until mid-2002, when he topped the charts again with "Ten Rounds with José Cuervo".
