Every morning I go scratch for the almighty buck
I dream the American dream
But it don't seem to change my luck
It gets downright depressing
It wears the sole down to the bone
I don't thank that I could make it
If I had to make it alone

So be there for me baby
Come sunup or sundown
And when the winter wind's whistling at the window
Together we can hold out ground
The secret to survivin'
Is dividin' the burden in two
So, be there for me baby
And I'll be there for you

I know you expected more out of this life than bills
And a broom
But that's all you're getting' from the man
You were betting had hung the moon
But love makes compensation
And it's enough to see us through
It's too bad we're not in the money
Oh, but we got me and you

So be there for me baby
Come sunup or sundown
And when the winter wind's whistling at the window
Together we can hold out ground
The secret to survivin'
Is dividin' the burden in two
So, be there for me baby
And I'll be there for you
