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 days 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 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 here him complain 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... Standing on their own two feet making ends meet
