Craig Morgan Tough Lyrics

Tough Lyrics

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 pin 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
