Tougher

(album: Tougher - 2016)

Me and Hannah did everything together, said we'd be best friends forever
Then her Mama got a job that was better, cross the parish line
And I was one summer shy of eleven
When Granddaddy took a ride up to Heaven
It ain't ever been an easy lesson, on how to say goodbye
They say what don't kill ya makes ya stronger, and I believe that's right

For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher

I'm a sucker for a boy with blue eyes, a pair of boots and an old four-wheel drive
So when I saw you in the July moonlight, I thought oh good Lord
I let you lay that sun kiss on me, and open up that truck door for me
Now I find out that I ain't the only girl you're doin that for
You're gonna get a good cry from me tonight, but nothin more

For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher

Than anything you throw my way, yeah I might bend but I won't break
You ain't the first, won't be the last to make me feel this way

For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher

Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
