That's What Keeps Her Getting By - Tracy Byrd[00:00:00]
Written by:Bobby Huff/Shane Minor/Danny Wells[00:00:02]
Stack of bills on her kitchen table[00:00:09]
Out go the lights and off goes the cable[00:00:13]
If she don't pay 'em by the 15th[00:00:17]
And it don't look like she's gonna be able[00:00:21]
Two mouths to feed two jobs barely get it done[00:00:25]
A lot on her plate for a single mom at 31[00:00:29]
From the outside looking in you'd think her world would crumble[00:00:33]
But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel[00:00:38]
Somehow she keeps getting by[00:00:43]
The only soft shoulder she knows[00:00:49]
Is on some lonely road[00:00:53]
She's going down she's going down[00:00:55]
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel[00:01:00]
But she's not[00:01:07]
No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life[00:01:09]
Than what she's got[00:01:15]
And that's what keeps her getting by[00:01:17]
Friday noon parent teacher day[00:01:28]
It's Johnson elementary or half a shift's pay[00:01:32]
But she wouldn't miss it for the world[00:01:36]
She looks around at all the daddy's in the room[00:01:40]
Wishing her kids had one of them too[00:01:44]
This ain't how she planned it[00:01:48]
Her life's going ten different ways[00:01:50]
It's off to little league and then to ballet[00:01:53]
Somehow she keeps getting by[00:01:59]
The only soft shoulder she knows[00:02:04]
Is on some old broken road[00:02:08]
She's going down she's going down[00:02:11]
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel[00:02:15]
But she's not[00:02:22]
No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life[00:02:24]
Than what she's got[00:02:30]
And that's what keeps her getting by[00:02:32]
In every dark cloud[00:02:38]
She keeps finding that silver lining[00:02:41]
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel[00:02:58]
But she's not[00:03:05]
No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life[00:03:07]
Than what she's got[00:03:13]
And that's what keeps her getting by[00:03:15]
Yeah that's what keeps her getting by[00:03:23]
