Tough

Craig Morgan-tough little bit of life

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 will be the first one up

And I thought I was tough

She's strong, pushes on, can 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 had 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

And I thought I was tough

She's strong, pushes on, can 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 have seen her cry, I have seen her break

But in my eyes, she will always be strong

There was a time

Back before she was mine

When I thought I was tough
