I'm an up with the sun early
Ain't afraid to get my hands dirty
Wild horse that can't be tamed
Wide open all gas no brakes
Sweat soaked hat on a rusty nail
Rugged ole heart I drug through hell
I was raised to tell it like it is
So let me lay it out just like this
She's the tough one
When I get scared her arms are right where I run
Behind every good man there's a better woman
I don't back down from any fight
You ain't ever gonna see me cry
Don't get me wrong, yeah I'm my fathers son
But she's the tough one
She's a white dress trimmed in lace
A soft breeze on my leather face
I might play a cowboy on tv
But by God she's the real thing
She's the tough one
When I get scared her arms are right where I run
Behind every good man there's a better woman
I don't back down from any fight
You ain't ever gonna see me cry
Yeah I'm my fathers son
But she's the tough one
Yeah she's the tough one
Did she get it from her daddy
Maybe from her mom
Might have been a heartbreak made her that strong
I don't know where she got it from
She's the tough one
Yeah she's the tough one
Oh she's the tough one
When I get scared her arms are right where I run
Behind every good man there's a better woman
I don't back down from any fight
You ain't ever gonna see me cry
Don't get me wrong yeah I'm my fathers son
But she's the tough one
Yeah she's the tough one
