Thick Skin Lyrics by Sarahbeth Taite

2020

[Verse 1]
My first skinned knee when I was just a kid
On the playground tryna fit in
With a mean girl who didn't wanna be friends
Sweet sixteen wasn't so sweet
Goin' sixty-five on a neighborhood street
Totaled my birthday brand-new Cherokee
Twenty-three stitches and a scar above my chin
I've done a lot of healin' since then

[Chorus]
I fell in and I fell down
I grew up and I left town
I found out that hearts just break, they don't bend
I've been lost and I've been burned
I've been drunk and I've been hurt
Lord knows I've been through hell and back again
That's where I got my thick skin

[Verse 2]
Met the wrong guy at the right bar
He had a slow hand and a fast car
Sometimes, people ain't who you think they are
Cruel world spins you around
Chews you up, spits you out
But that's how I got where I am now

[Chorus]
I fell in and I fell down
I grew up and I left town
I found out that hearts just break, they don't bend
I've been lost and I've been burned
I've been drunk and I've been hurt
Lord knows I've been through hell and back again
That's where I got my thick skin

[Bridge]
You may think that resiliency
Is just a branch on the family tree
Somethin' that you're born to be
But I know it wasn't how I was made
It's somethin' I picked up along the way

[Chorus]
I fell in and I fell down
I grew up and I left town
I found out that hearts just break, they don't bend
I've been lost and I've been burned
I've been drunk and I've been hurt
Lord knows I've been through hell and back again
That's where I got my thick skin

[Outro]
That's where I got my
That's where I got my thick skin
