Tough Folks
(专辑: Things Change - 2018)
I'm caught in the
shadows, the
American South Somewhere between hypocrite and hallelujah Six generations of barely getting by Six generations of hate, what's it to ya? When the
only thing harder than the
work is the

evening news And last November I
saw firsthand What desperation makes good people do Life ain't fair Saddle up, boy, and see it through Tough times don't last Tough folks do See I
come from a
long line of Carolina farmers For years, tobacco was the
answer It kept the
lights on and put food on the
table 'Til the
doctors started calling it cancer So we took to the
hills of the
Blue Ridge Mountains With a
harvest of corn and some copper line And we found you can get a
little slice of heaven With some sugar yeast water and a
whole lotta time Life ain't fair Saddle up, boy, and see it through Tough times don't last But tough folks do Where I'm from a
man's only worth the
weight of his word and Respect ain't handed out, it's earned I've been running with my back to the
wall for seventeen years now And if it's one thing that I've learned, it's... Life ain't fair Saddle up, boy, and see it through Tough times don't last But tough folks do Life ain't fair Saddle up, saddle up Life ain't fair Saddle up, saddle up Life ain't fair Saddle up, boy, and see it through Tough times don't last But tough folks do Tough times don't last But tough folks do
