Struggling Lady

You know it's hard to find a good woman
These days
But I'm gonna tell you all about a special kind of lady
Everybody'd be proud to say "That's my lady"

Struggling lady
You see her walking down the street
That struggling lady (That struggling lady)
All that that I try to make ends meet
That struggling lady (That struggling lady)
You're not gonna see her in the welfare line
She got too much pride, she's not the begging kind
She says "As long as I have my health and strength
If I don't work, Lord, it don't make no sense"

I admire that struggling lady (That struggling lady)
Struggling lady (That struggling lady)
One more thing

Even though her man might be gone
That struggling lady (That struggling lady)
Listen to me
She become the father and the mother of her home
Love that struggling lady (That struggling lady)
She's not the kind gonna treat you wrong
She's the kind that'll treat you right
And everything that you touch now
You can see that spiritual, spiritual light

Shining through that struggling lady (That struggling lady)
That struggling lady, mmm (That struggling lady)
Just trying to feed her hungry baby (That struggling lady)
Struggling lady (That struggling lady)

She says she'll work long as she able
That struggling lady
Lord have mercy, she said
"I'll always keep food on my children's table"
That hard working struggling lady, mhm
She work both night and day
That struggling lady (That struggling lady)
Yeah
So it always can't be hard this way
That struggling lady (That struggling lady)

I admire that struggling lady (Struggling lady)
Have to admire that struggling lady (Struggling lady)

If you see her on the street, fellas
Don't you mug her
Gotta be the man one with your arms around her
Trying to hug her
Help that struggling lady
Carry the food home, feed those hungry babies, mhm
Struggle on, struggling lady (Struggling lady)
Struggle on, struggling lady (Struggling lady)

Gonna be alright, struggling lady
Struggling lady, struggling lady
On her knees, praying to the Lord every night
That, that struggling lady (That struggling lady)
Oh yeah
Work both day and night
That struggling lady (That struggling lady)

Oh yeah
She'll make any man a good wife, yes she will
That struggling lady

I wanna say it again, brother
Struggle on, struggling lady
Struggle on, struggling lady
Lord, help myself, that struggling lady
Trying to feed her hungry babies
That's all she's trying to do
