Trace Adkins - Tough People Do Lyrics
Back in '39 she was 26The wife of a soldier tryin' to raise four kidsOn rationed out beans and watered down milkTryin' to keep 'em all warm with a patchwork quiltThat great depression ended about 1945But grandma lived to be 92See, tough times don't lastTough people doTough people pull themselves up by the bootstrapsWhen they hit hard luckAnd they stay strong and they keep on fightin'Like they don't know how to loseTough times don't lastTough people doThose talkin' heads on CNNSay we'll never get out of this hole we're inThe price of gas is up and the market's downAnd there's a bunch of empty houses in every townWell, I'd interrupt that program with a little headline of my ownThis just in from the old red, white and blueTough times don't lastTough people doTough people pull themselves up by the bootstrapsWhen they hit hard luckAnd they stay strong and they keep on fightin'Like they don't know how to loseTough times don't lastTough people doI've been out of work since mid JulyMy bank account's about bone dryBeen lookin' for a job no luck so farBut I bought a little time when I sold my carWell, I'll go dig a ditch if that's what it takesBaby, somehow or another we'll get throughTough times don't lastTough times don't lastTough people doTough people do
