A single mom tired as can be but keeps both feet on the ground

Those little girls see the world in her but she feels like she could drown

If it gets worse until it gets better she don't know if she can make it any longer

SHE POURS AND POURS AND POURS

ALL OF HERSELF

A JOB, KIDS, AND A HOUSE

AND HELP FROM NO ONE ELSE

WHEN WILL IT BE OVER?

SO FAR SHE'S MADE IT OUT SOBER

There they all sat at the foot of the bed as she cried her eyes out

She was let go, she's screaming asking how will she provide now

If this is the worse until it gets better, she don't know if she can take it any longer

SHE POURS AND POURS AND POURS

ALL OF HERSELF

NO JOB, KIDS, AND A HOUSE

AND HELP FROM NO ONE ELSE

WILL IT EVER BE OVER?

SO FAR SHE'S MADE IT OUT SOBER

Ten years later she rocks in her chair sippin' coffee off her front porch

They're all smilin' and telling stories of what happened

And all it's worth

SHE POURED AND POURED AND POURED

ALL OF HERSELF

A JOB, KIDS, AND A HOUSE

AND HELP FROM NO ONE ELSE

NOW THAT IT'S ALL OVER

SHE MADE IT OUT SOBER

And if it happened all over

She'd still make it out sober
