So you're a single mom holding down two jobs To give your kids the chance you never got More power to ya You're a farming man with callus stains Trying to hold on to the family land More power to ya Get up every day and you find a way to beat the odds You're always in a pinch, have to fight for every inch But you still thank God It don't matter what life brings Somehow you find the strength to get you through it I don't know how you do it More power to ya You're doing nine to nine for the overtime Cause the dollar these days ain't worth a dime More power to ya You were rising fast in the middle class Now you work eight hours for a tank of gas More power to ya And get up every day and you find a way to beat the odds You're always in a pinch, have to fight for every inch But you still thank God It don't matter what life brings Somehow you find the strength to get you through it I don't know how you do it More power to ya You swing the hammer, pound the nails You get ten more blisters, my hat's off, mister. You drive a truck, you sweep the floors And you turn the wrench, you fight the wars And you get paid less for doing more You're a tough and stubborn bunch Man, you sure know how to take a punch Get back up every day and you find a way to beat the odds You're always in a pinch, have to fight for every inch But you still thank God It don't matter what life brings Somehow you find the strength to get you through it I don't know how you do it More power to ya
