Lyrics
Tough Times
Scott Miller/Lee Johnson
He got laid off from work today,
seems pounding nails don't pay
Got in his truck and headed for home
>Bank note on the door last week,
Not sure how to make ends meet,
Might have to take two jobs to pay that loan
He hugged his kids then told his wife the news
She said "don't worry, we'll make it through...
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
Time will pass, and you'll push on through
Stand your ground, Hunker down
might be another rough patch or two
Tough times don't last, Tough people do"
>Never seen such a hard rain,
Didn't stop for five straight days
Washed away memories lifetimes and homes
It brought a lot of people to their knees
But they're already, back on their feet....chorus then bridge....
The Test came back they found a spot
She decided, she's gonna fight it, with everything she's got
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
Time will pass, and you'll push on through
Stand your ground, Hunker down
sure there'll be a rough patch or two
You might feel like you're stuck, out of luck
But there's one thing that's true
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
