Tough People Lyrics

When the world is beatin' up on you

Lookin' for answers, you ain't got a clue

Barely gettin' by from day to day

Seems like everything has gone sideways

Bills are due but you just got laid off

Truck's broke down, the baby's got a cough

Wonderin' how you're gonna make it through

Can't catch your breath and don't know what to do

Get through one minute and then an hour

Just take a breath, stop and smell the flowers

Look for the sun, it's just a passin' shower

I'm tellin' you

Try gettin' on your knees and talk to the Father

Tell the Devil today's not the day to bother

Grab a fishin' pole and head for the holler

Know this is true

Tough times don't last, tough people do

When the summer skies have turned to gray

It's gettin' harder just to feel okay

Wolves are closin' in on every side

Can't get ahead no matter how you've tried

But pretty soon the present turns to past

These times are hard, but they ain't gonna last

Just keep on hopin', keep on holdin' on

It's always darkest right before the dawn

Get through one minute and then an hour

Just take a breath, stop and smell the flowers

Look for the sun, it's just a passin' shower

I'm tellin' you

Try gettin' on your knees and talk to the Father

Tell the Devil today's not the day to bother

Grab a fishin' pole and head for the holler

Know this is true

Tough times don't last, tough people do

Sometimes a strong round will knock you down, but that's not the place for you

Get back on your feet and dust off your seat, you know what to do

Get through one minute and then an hour

Just take a breath, stop and smell the flowers

Look for the sun, it's just a passin' shower

I'm tellin' you

Try gettin' on your knees and talk to the Father

Tell the Devil today's not the day to bother

Grab a fishin' pole and head for the holler

Know this is true

Tough times don't last, tough people do

Tough times don't last, tough people do
