Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see girls with tattoos
Good ol' boys in cowboy hats
I see a few soldiers here tonight
Welcome back
[PreChorus]
We got some country ass, beer drinkin', hell raisin' go-all-nighters
We got some dirt turnin', diesel burnin', hardworkin' nine-to-fivers
[Chorus]
Talk about a tough crowd
Make you wanna turn it up loud
Raise the roof tonight and make the red, white, and blue proud
Yeah, here's to country strong, I wish y'all could see y'all now
Talk about a tough crowd
[PostChorus]
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Parkin' lot full of pickups
Out there lined up in a row
All covered in dirt road dust
Tells me all I need to know 'bout how you roll
[Chorus]
Talk about a tough crowd
Make you wanna turn it up loud
Raise the roof tonight and make the red, white, and blue proud
Yeah, here's to country strong, I wish y'all could see y'all now
Talk about a tough crowd
[PostChorus]
My kinda tough crowd
[Bridge]
We got some country ass, beer drinkin', hell raisin', dirt turnin'
Diesel burnin', hard workin' nine-to-fivers, go-all-nighters
Survivors
[Chorus]
Talk about a tough crowd
Make you wanna turn it up loud
Raise the roof tonight and make the red, white, and blue proud
Yeah, here's to country strong, I wish y'all could see y'all now
Talk about a tough crowd
Yeah, talk about a tough crowd
[Outro]
Yeah, they're my kinda tough crowd
