More Power To Ya

MORE POWER TO YA
(Jason Matthews/Jon Mabe)

So you’re a single mom holdin' down two jobs
To give your kids the chance you never got
Well, more power to ya
And you’re a farmin' man with calloused hands
Trying to hold on to the family land
Well, more power to ya

Chorus:
You 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 doesn’t matter what life brings
Somehow you find the strength that gets you through it
I don’t know how you do it
But more power to ya

You’re doin' nine to nine for the overtime
'Cause the dollar these days ain’t worth a dime
Well, more power to ya
And you were risin' fast in the middle class
Now you work eight hours for a tank of gas
Well, more power to ya

repeat chorus

You sling the hammer, pound the nails
And get ten more blisters, my hat's off mister
You drive the trucks, and sweep the floors
And you turn the wrenches and fight the wars
And you get paid less for doing more
You’re a tough and stubborn bunch
But man, you sure know how to take a punch

repeat chorus
