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. (Chorus) 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. (Chorus) 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. (Chorus) 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.
