More Power To Ya - Guy Penrod

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
