Making Ends Meet

He left for work and he never came back Now Mary has to face the fact That it's up to her to start a new life With two kids and just one job It's gonna take all the strength she's got Well, it's a hard row But she knows somehow she'll survive Making ends meet, holding her own Not afraid of a hard day's work to give her family a home Ain't nothing gonna break her stride, there's too much love and pride Standing on her own two feet, making ends meet Bobby's just a regular Joe His daddy's farm is all he knows With calloused hands he works the fields each day The banker says the loans come due And Bobby knows there's a lot to lose Well, it ain't fair and it's a lot to bare But you won't hear him complain Making ends meet, holding his own Not afraid of a hard day's work to give his family a home Ain't nothing gonna break his stride, there's too much love and pride Standing on his own two feet, making ends meet When hard times come and test the faith of folks like you and I God bless the ones who stand up tall and don't give up the fight Making ends meet, holding their own Not afraid of a hard day's work to give their family a home Ain't nothing gonna break their stride, there's too much love and pride Standing on their own two feet, making ends meet Standing on their own two feet, making ends meet
