She's the Tough One

I'm up with the sun early

Ain't afraid to get my hands dirty

Wild horse that can't be tamed

Wide open, all gas, no brakes

Sweat-soaked hat on a rusty nail

Rugged old heart I drugged through hell

I was raised to tell it like it is

So let me lay it out just like this

She's the tough one

When I get scared, her arms are right where I run

Behind every good man, there's a better woman

I don't back down from any fight

You ain't ever gonna see me cry

Don't get me wrong, yeah, I'm my father's son

But she's the tough one

She's a white dress trimmed in lace

A soft breeze on my leather face

I might play a cowboy on TV

But by God, she's the real thing

She's the tough one

When I get scared, her arms are right where I run

Behind every good man, there's a better woman

I don't back down from any fight

You ain't ever gonna see me cry

Yeah, I'm my father's son

But she's the tough one

Yeah, she's the tough one

Did she get it from her daddy

Maybe from her mom?

Might have been a heartbreak made her that strong

I don't know where she got it from

She's the tough one

Yeah, she's the tough one

Oh, she's the tough one

When I get scared, her arms are right where I run

Behind every good man, there's a better woman

I don't back down from any fight

You ain't ever gonna see me cry

Don't get me wrong, yeah, I'm my father's son

But she's the tough one

Yeah, she's the tough one
