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
