Stack of bills on her kitchen table Out go the lights and off goes the cable If she dont pay em by the 15th And it dont look like shes gonna be able Two mouths to feed, two jobs barely get it done A lot on her plate for a single mom at twentyone From the outside looking in youd 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 shes going down, shes going down Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel but shes not No matter what shes gonna give her kids A better life than what shes got And thats what keeps her gettin by Friday noon, parent teacher day Its Johnson elementary or half a shifts pay But she wouldnt miss it for the world She looks around at all the daddys in the room Wishing her kids had one of them too This aint how she planned it her lifes going ten different ways Its off to little league and then to ballet You might also likeSomehow she keeps gettin by The only soft shoulder she knows In every dark cloud, oh she, keeps finding that silver lining Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel, but shes not No matter what shes gonna give her kids A better life than what shes got And thats what keeps her gettin by Yeah, thats what keeps her gettin by...
