Tougher Songtext
von Lainey Wilson

Me and Hannah did everything together
Said we′d be best friends forever
Then her mama got a job that was better, across the parish line
And I was one summer shy of 11
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

Through every low-down 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, tryin' to 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, 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 doing that for

You′re gonna get a good cry from me tonight, but nothin' more

Through every low-down 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, tryin' to 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

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

Through every low-down 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, tryin′ to 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


Life is tough
But this girl's tougher
