Cry Tough Songtext
von Nils Lofgren

Already late to the union hall
Tired and dragging my feet on the ground
Doctor Feelgood lived right down my street
I flew on over and he heard me speak
"Doctor, please
I′m getting weak in the knees"
And he said, "Cry tough
Son, cry tough"

Ooh, I told him 'bout my dancing blues
And why I had to feel the band tonight
"Doctor Feelgood, I promised this lady
If I can′t dance, she gonna break my nose"
He said, "Easy now, boy
'Cause I've got the antidote"
And he said


"Cry tough, throw that girl on the floor
Help her up and watch her beg for more
Cry tough, put down your soul
You just need another shot of rock and roll"
Just need another shot of rock and roll
Take it away

Well, I′ve been a cripple since they threw me in school
Until I caught this new kind of thrill
Called it "dancing fever" and I had to have it
Crazy Doctor Feelgood encouraged my habits
All his time he would devote
′Til he discovered the antidote
And he said

"Cry tough, burn your crutches too
You were born to be a dancing fool
Cry tough, put down your soul
You just need another shot of rock and roll"
Yeah, just need another shot of rock and roll
Look out, ow

Need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll
