"Making Ends Meet"
(Mark Elliot)

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

[Chorus:]
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'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 bear, but you won't hear him complain

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
Standing on their own two feet making ends meet
