Tough Kids Lyrics by Coyote Kid

The Skeleton Man

2019

Put one foot in front of the other, and we'll be fine
We're two cruel vultures of a feather, and this is our time
We were raised in the ruins of wasted lives in these wasteland times
But I never wasted mine (mine)
While we're young and in love and just dumb enough to think we can make it alone
We weren't taught to be tough kids, but I guess that's just the way it goes
Even though I know that we don't have much time, we might make it if we try
Raise your glass to the tough kids that didn't make it in the dust bowl
I don't trust anyone more than I trust me and mine
It's a dog eat dog world, but this pack runs till the end of the line
We were forged in the furnace of dark days in the cruelest ways
But our blood-bound burden don't break (break)
While we're young and in love and just dumb enough to think we can make it alone
We weren't taught to be tough kids, but I guess that's just the way it goes
Even though I know that we don't have much time, we might make it if we try
Raise your glass to the tough kids that didn't make it in the dust bowl
Oh the roads we should have taken, all the paths we should have passed
If you start to break, try to shake it until we make it through the overpass
The clock's ticking and we can't miss it
Pushed pass the point of no return
We're gonna fake it until we make it
No, we're gonna make it, or die trying
The clock's ticking and we can't miss it
Pushed pass the point of no return
We're gonna fake it until we make it
No, we're gonna make it, or die trying
We're gonna make it, or die trying
Or die trying
Or die trying
While we're young and in love and just dumb enough to think we can make it alone
We weren't taught to be tough kids, but I guess that's just the way it goes
Even though I know that we don't have much time, we might make it if we try
Raise your glass to the tough kids that didn't make it in the dust bowl
