Stack of bills on her kitchen table
Out go the lights and off goes the cable
If she don`t pay `em by the 15th
And it don`t look like she`s gonna be able.
Two mouths to feed, two jobs barely get it done
A lot on her plate for a single mom at twenty-one
From the outside looking in you`d think her world would crumble
But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel.
Somehow she keeps gettin` by,
The only soft shoulder she knows.
Is on some lonely road she`s going down, she`s going down
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel but she`s not
No matter what she`s gonna give her kids
A better life than what she`s got.
And that`s what keeps her gettin` by
Friday noon, parent teacher day
It`s Johnson elementary or half a shift`s pay
But she wouldn`t miss it for the world.
She looks around at all the daddy`s in the room
Wishing her kids had one of them too
This ain`t how she planned it her life`s going ten different ways
It`s off to little league and then to ballet
Somehow she keeps gettin` by
The only soft shoulder she knows.
In every dark cloud, oh she, keeps finding that silver lining.
--- Instrumental ---
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel, but she`s not
No matter what she`s gonna give her kids
A better life than what she`s got
And that`s what keeps her gettin` by.
