Lyrics: Making Ends Meet

He left for work and 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 road 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 to much love and pride
Standing on her own two feet, making ends meet

Now Bobby's just a regular joe
His daddy's farm is all he knows
With callused hands he works fields each day
The banker says the loan's come due
And Bobby knows there's a lot to lose
It ain't fair, there's a lot to bear 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 to 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 days work
To give the family a home
There 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
