Most mornings she's up before the sun even thinks about rising
Gets breakfast going and the laundry out for drying
Makes a cup of coffee, finds her favorite front porch spot
And has a few minutes with the Lord before the crazy starts
She keeps this family running like a well-oiled machine
And never asks for anything
It's not just the boards in the floors, the hinges on the doors
The nails in the walls that keep this place from falling
It's not just the windows in the rooms, the shingles on the roof
The bricks and stones that give this place its bones
She might deny it, but we all know better
She holds this house together
She's always got a shoulder when you need one to lean on
And you can bet she'll stay up late waiting for you to come home
She's a wife and a mother and everything in between
She makes it all look easy, though it's harder than it seems
It's not just the boards in the floors, the hinges on the doors
The nails in the walls that keep this place from falling
It's not just the windows in the rooms, the shingles on the roof
The bricks and stones that give this place its bones
She might deny it, but we all know better
She holds this house together
For her it's second nature, never feels like a heavy load
Even when the foundation cracks and the weeds start to grow
It's not just the boards in the floors, the hinges on the doors
The nails in the walls that keep this place from falling
It's not just the windows in the rooms, the shingles on the roof
The bricks and stones that give this place its bones
She might deny it, but we all know better
She holds this house together
She holds this house together
She holds this house together
