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
 Oh, 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 by 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
 Oh, 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 by two
 So, be there for me baby
 And I'll be there for you
