That's What Keeps Her Getting By
Lyricist:Bobby Huff, Shane Minor, Danny Wells
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 of 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
But 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 shifts pay But she wouldn't miss it for the world Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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
But somehow she keeps gettin' by the only soft shoulder she knows Is on some lonely road she's going down, she's going down And 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
In every dark cloud, oh she, keeps finding that silver lining
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 Yeah, that's what keeps her gettin' by
