Tough As Nails (The Balland of Miss Kitty)

Tough As Nails (The Ballad of Miss Kitty) There's a place in old Dodge Kansas, where the sunflowers face the moon And a little lady there, owns a spot she named the Longbranch Saloon The first time I met her there, outlaws came to call We thought she'd need protection, turned out she needed none at all She poured us pints and shots of rye Slide them down the rails Oh so pretty, but she was as tough as nails There was one tall law man, she'd always looked up to When the odds seemed stacked against 'em, he'd always come through She'd look beyond the edge of town, past those dusty streets She'd watch for that tall law man, until again their eyes would meet Then she'd pour him a pint and a shot of rye Slide them down the rail Oh so pretty, but she was tough as nails Whoa! Miss Kitty! Whoa! Miss Kitty! They were alone when they were together, and together when they were apart And when they'd dance, Lord how they'd dance! They'd dance in each other's' heart She never told that lawman, exactly how she felt They both learned over time to play the hands that they were dealt Some would say how sad it was the Lady never gave him her heart That tall lawman he always knew how it would be, right from the start Then she'd pour a pint and shot of rye Slide 'em down the rail Oh so pretty, but she was tough as nails Whoa! Miss Kitty! Whoa! Miss Kitty! There's a place in old Dodge Kansas, where the sunflowers face the moon And a little lady there owns a spot she named the Long Branch Saloon The first time that I met her there, outlaws came to call We thought she'd need protection, turned out she needed none at all She'd pour us pints and shots of rye Slide 'em down the rail Oh so pretty, but she was tough as nails Whoa! Miss Kitty! Whoa! Miss Kitty!
