Lucky Break

She was a waitress workin' seven days a week
From nine to five she'd work the tables all alone
She had three children of her own to raise, the youngest plays hide'n'seek
She's home for twenty minutes 'til she's gone
Cause she's gotta make a livin' since her man took off to Arkansas
Chasin' old flames, playin' his games, and breakin' her heart

Cause she's a strong girl, and she'll only get stronger
If she holds on for a little bit longer
And keeps smilin' every mornin' that she wakes
She had a rough start but with enough heart
She's gonna get through it all if she just stays smart
She's taken more than anyone should ever take
And she'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break

Now she's a full-time college lady with dreams of better days
And she does her to best to keep her head held high
She's gotta make rent so she'll take on any job that keeps her paid
Whatever she can get is another month that she gets by
Cause she's gotta make a livin' since her man took off to Arkansas
Chasin' old flames, playin' his games, and breakin' her heart

Cause she's a strong girl, and she'll only get stronger
If she holds on for a little bit longer
And keeps smilin' every mornin' that she wakes
She had a rough start but with enough heart
She's gonna get through it all if she just stays smart
She's taken more than anyone should ever take
And she'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break

And she ain't seem him in so long,
Til the day he showed his face outside her door
Sayin' honey I missed you, I shoulda never done you wrong
And she said, baby I don't need you anymore

Cause she's a strong girl, and she'll only get stronger
If she holds on for a little bit longer
And keeps smilin' every mornin' that she wakes
She had a rough start but with enough heart
She's gonna get through it all if she just stays smart
She's taken more than anyone should ever take
And she'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break
She'll keep holdin' on for the day she gets her lucky break
