[Intro] Been here a long, long time. Wonder if I'll ever leave this place. [Verse 1] He used to work on the phone, Grinding his brains to the bone; She's workin' Wal-mart, Tryin' to get a fresh start; It was hard no matter how we'd grown. We'd grown. [Pre-Chorus] I tell her, baby, we gotta do, What we gotta do to get by; Don't worry, I'll hold you, When it makes you cry. Anytime, day or night, We'll put up a fight; Together we'll try. [Chorus] We're doin' fine, With your heart so kind, And a little hard work, We'll get through the grind; Together, we'll make it. [Verse 2] He used to work for shit pay, Disappointed at what he got for his pain; She was medically fallin' apart, Had to follow her to hospital on a cart; It was hard no matter what we did. What we did. [Pre-Chorus] I tell her, baby, we gotta do, What we gotta do to get by; Don't worry, I'll hold you, When it makes you cry. Anytime, day or night, We'll put up a fight; Together we'll try. [Chorus] We're doin' fine, With your heart so kind, And a little hard work, We'll get through the grind; Together, we'll make it work. [Drum Solo] [Bridge] Ooh, We'll get through the grind; Together, we'll make it work. [Chorus] We're doin' fine, With your heart so kind, And a little hard work, We'll get through the grind; Together, we'll make it work. That's what I thought, But now she's gone; That cancer came on fast, And she was dead by the dawn, And now I try to get through the grind, Remembering her, how she was so kind; Trying not to lose myself, day after day, Since my baby went away.
