Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots
With a blue collar, red dirt attitude
Like a 38 made out of brass
Tough like the stuff in your grandpa's glass
Life's gonna do what it does
Sure as the good Lord's up above
Cut like a diamond shining in the rough
Tough
Tough
Come on, take a ride with me
Like the 808s beating in the trunk in Atlanta
It was tough
It was kinda hard for me
Crawling through the mud, I couldn't find love
Then we came up
Look at where we are, baby
Standing through the storm, still shining like a diamond in the rough
Still shining
And that's hard
If you ever lost someone that you love
Through the pain, gotta show and give them light
Still family, if you wrong, go your right
No matter, we together
It's not something that you wanna do
It's just something you're going through
Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots
With a blue collar, red dirt attitude
Like a 38 made out of brass
Tough like the stuff in your grandpa's glass
Life's gonna do what it does
Sure as the good Lord's up above
Cut like a diamond shining in the rough
Tough
Tough

Tough















Tell me how it's hard for you
Like a nickel on the strings in a good old Gibson guitar
Tell me what it feel like
Like the smoke in the drawer
Y'all in the way you talk slow
Oh yeah, yeah
Like the songs that your momma sang to you
And the way that it makes you tell the truth
If you come from where you come
Then you were born tough
Yeah
Same way you come
And you were born
What up with everything that we did?




It's not something that you wanna do
It's what you're gonna do now
There's no place to run
If that's what you're gonna do
What am I gonna do?
Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots
With a blue collar, red dirt attitude
Like a 38 made out of brass
Tough like the stuff in your grandpa's glass
Life's gonna do what it does
Sure is the good Lord's hope above
Like a diamond shining in the world
You come to the North
I'll show you around
That's why I said come take a ride with me
Whenever
Whenever you ready
Call on me
I'll give it back when I get there
That's a bet
