If she don't pay em by the 15th,
Then it don't look like she's gonna be able.

From the outside lookin' in, you'd think her world would crumble,
But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel.
But somehow she keeps getting by,
The only soft shoulder she knows is off some old broken road,
She's goin' down she's goin' down.
Sometimes she feels like throwin' in the towel,
But she's not, no matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life,
Than what she's got

She wouldn't miss it for the world.

This ain't how she planned it, her life's goin' ten different ways,
Its off to little league, and then to ballet
But somehow she keeps getting by,
The only soft shoulder she knows is off some old broken road,
She's goin' down she's goin' down.
Sometimes she feels like throwin' 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 getting by.
In every dark cloud oh, she keeps findin' that
Silver lining.

Sometimes she feels like throwin' 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 getting by.
