Making Ends Meet Lyrics - 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
