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 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
