[00:00:09] Stack of bills on her kitchen table

[00:00:13] Out go the lights and off goes the cable

[00:00:17] If she don't pay 'em by the 15th

[00:00:21] And it don't look like she's gonna be able

[00:00:25] Two mouths to feed two jobs barely get it done

[00:00:29] A lot on her plate for a single mom at 31

[00:00:33] From the outside looking in you'd think her world would crumble

[00:00:38] But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel

[00:00:43] Somehow she keeps getting by

[00:00:49] The only soft shoulder she knows

[00:00:53] Is on some lonely road

[00:00:55] She's going down she's going down

[00:01:00] Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel

[00:01:07] But she's not

[00:01:09] No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life

[00:01:15] Than what she's got

[00:01:17] And that's what keeps her getting by

[00:01:28] Friday noon parent teacher day

[00:01:32] It's Johnson elementary or half a shift's pay

[00:01:36] But she wouldn't miss it for the world

[00:01:40] She looks around at all the daddy's in the room

[00:01:44] Wishing her kids had one of them too

[00:01:48] This ain't how she planned it

[00:01:50] Her life's going ten different ways

[00:01:53] It's off to little league and then to ballet

[00:01:59] Somehow she keeps getting by

[00:02:04] The only soft shoulder she knows

[00:02:08] Is on some old broken road

[00:02:11] She's going down she's going down

[00:02:15] Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel

[00:02:22] But she's not

[00:02:24] No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life

[00:02:30] Than what she's got

[00:02:32] And that's what keeps her getting by

[00:02:38] In every dark cloud

[00:02:41] She keeps finding that silver lining

[00:02:58] Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel

[00:03:05] But she's not

[00:03:07] No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life

[00:03:13] Than what she's got

[00:03:15] And that's what keeps her getting by

[00:03:23] Yeah that's what keeps her getting by
