Lainey Wilson Tougher Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Me and Hannah did everything together
Said we'd be best friends forever
Then her mama got a job that was better
'Cross the parish line
And I was one summer shy of eleven
When Granddaddy took a ride up to Heaven
It ain't ever been an easy lesson
On how to say goodbye
They say what don't kill you makes you stronger
And I believe that's right
[Chorus]
For every lowdown beatin' this old heart's taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin' what he does, tryna make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin'
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher

[Verse 2]
I'm a sucker for a boy with blue eyes
A pair of boots and an old four-wheel drive
So when I saw you in the July moonlight
I thought oh, good Lord
I let you lay that sun kiss on me
And open up that truck door for me
Now I find out that I ain't the only
Girl you're doin that for You're gonna get a good cry from me tonight
But nothin' more

[Chorus]
For every lowdown beatin' this old heart's taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin' what he does, tryna make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin'
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
[Bridge]
Than anything you throw my way
Yeah, I might bend but I won't break
You ain't the first, won't be the last
To make me feel this way

[Chorus]
For every lowdown beatin' this old heart's taken
A whisper in the dark says I won't make it
I know it's just the devil
Doin' what he does, tryna make me suffer
No matter what the battle is keeping me prayin'
I gotta be strong, I gotta keep saying
I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher

[Outro]
Life is tough, but this girl's tougher
