Lyrics Making Ends Meet - Chris LeDoux

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
