I got
a hunger in my bed
and since I don't know when
No, you can't get full when
you can't get paid
So I'm selling all the furniture
to pay my rent
I've been sleeping on the floor,
I don't got no bed
I've been trying to make ends meet
I've been trying to make ends meet
Lord, I'm working so hard
but they keep coming apart
I've been try in' to make ends meet
I kept my lover in firewood fumes
But her love ran dry when I muddied it too
I think about her now
when the dogwood blooms
I've been lookin' for a job,
I'ma give up soon
I've been tryin' to make ends meet
I've been tryin' to make ends meet
Well, I'm working so hard,
but they keep coming apart
I'm trying to make ends meet
And if the rain don't fall
If the dust in the valley don't kill us all
I might just make it last
An d if the landlord call s
I'm spending my days on the train
And all I might just lay down and die
I don't know where the money goes
It's like somebody took my pockets
and they cut them for the hose
I'm scraping at the bottom
of the barrel for a loan
I got a bell so tight
I make a diamond out of coal
I'm trying to make ends meet
I've been trying to make ends meet
Lord, I'm working so hard
but they keep coming apart
I'm trying to make ends meet
Lord, I'm working so hard
but they keep coming apart
I'm trying to make ends meet
Thank for
