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 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 too much love and pride
Standing on her own two feet
Making ends meet
Now Bobby's just a regular joke
His daddy's farm is all he knows
With calloused hands he works the fields each day
The banker says the loan's come due
And Bobby knows there's a lot to lose with
It ain't fair to say
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 two feet
Making ends meet
Making ends meet
When hard times come and test the faith
The 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 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
