Tough Songtext
von Craig Morgan

She′s in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
Bacon's on, coffee′s strong
Kids running wild, taking off their clothes
If she's a nervous wreck, well, it never shows

Takes one to football and one to dance
Hits the Y for aerobics class
Drops by the bank, stops at the store
Has on a smile when I walk through the door

The last to go to bed, she'll be the first one up
And I thought I was tough

She′s strong, pushes on, can′t slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time, back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough


We sat there, five years ago
The doctors let us know, the test showed
She'd have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said it′s gonna be alright

She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high, singing Amazing Grace

Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough

She's strong, pushes on, can′t slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time, back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

She's a gentle word, the sweetest kiss
A velvet touch against my skin
I′ve seen her cry, I've seen her break
But in my eyes, she'll always be strong

There was a time, back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough
