Tougher

[Verse 1] 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 you makes you stronger And I believe that's right [Chorus] For every lowdown beatin' this old heart's taken A whisper in the dark says I won't make it I know it's just the devil Doin' what he does, tryna make me suffer No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin' I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other Life is tough, but this girl's tougher [Verse 2] 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 heart's taken A whisper in the dark says I won't make it I know it's just the devil Doin' what he does, tryna make me suffer No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin' I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other Life is tough, but this girl's tougher [Bridge] 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 heart's taken A whisper in the dark says I won't make it I know it's just the devil Doin' what he does, tryna make me suffer No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin' I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other Life is tough, but this girl's tougher [Outro] Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
