Tougher

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 Sothern 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
