I wake up to another day

Of strugglin’ to get a pay

My man’s locked up

And these kids are drivin’ me nuts

Fightin’ over the last pork rind

Oh, I sure could use a strong glass of wine

While I’m strugglin’ in these hard times

Chorus:

Strugglin’ in these hard times

Yeah, I’m really in a bind

The bills keep rollin’ in

It’s a battle I just can’t win

Well, it’s been rough

Tryin’ to stretch every dollar and such

Strugglin’ to make ends meet

Yeah, this economy’s really got me beat

Strugglin’ to keep food on the table

Everyday it’s a gamble

Searchin’ for bread and hirin’ signs

Cause we’re strugglin’ in these hard times

Well, the car’s broke down can’t afford to fix it

Break line busted and it’s burnin’ my biscuits

Can’t find a ride to no where

And we’re dependin’ on welfare

Oh, I’m tired of being so kind

While strugglin’ in these hard times

Repeat Chorus

Keep bummin’ things from the neighbor

From sugar to even toilet paper

Now, I’m sittin’ here tryin’ to decide

What the hell’s for dinner tonight

Lord help us, give me a sign

As we struggle through these hard times

Repeat Chorus

I wake up to another day

Of strugglin’ to get a pay
