Born Tough Lyrics

Oh, come on

Hey, hey, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm born tough, raised in the steel mills

You don't know the strength I've gained, folks

Born tough in the heartland

Grit and sweat, working with my hands

Every scar, every bruise, speaks to where I stand

Born tough, forged in the fire's sweet demands

Rising up, 'cause I know who I am

Born tough, can't break me down

In the heartland, where my roots are found

From the factory floors to the open plains

Every hard day's work is in my veins

From the railroad tracks to the city lights

I've fought through the days, and I've braved the nights

Through the cold wind's bite, and the summer's blaze

I'll keep standing tall through every phase

In the quiet of the dawn, with the morning dew

I find my strength in all that I do

With every step and each mile I roam

I'm grounded in this place I call home

Born tough, can't break me down

In the heartland, where my roots are found

Born tough, you can see it in my eyes

In the heartland, where the eagle flies

My spirit's unbreakable, like the mountains high

I'll keep pushing on till the day I die

Born tough, like the rivers that run

In the heartland, where it all begun
