Country Boy Lyrics by The Wrong Trousers

One and Counting...

0

Well you sing about moonshine and you sing about rum
You sing about murder and you sing about guns
You're the toughest damn thing this side of the river
You get cold, cold‚ cold but you don't dare shiver
You gotta toughen up son‚ you gotta toughen up soon
You can't go through life just barking at the moon
You gotta toughen up son‚ you gotta toughen up now
Take a train out west and learn to furrow your brow
Well I heard yesterday, I read in the papers
The bank got robbed by a bunch of escapers
You know it so you run down the avenue
Twenty silver coins trailing right behind you
You gotta toughen up son, you gotta toughen up soon
You can't go through life singing fairytale tunes
You gotta toughen up son‚ you gotta toughen up now
There ain't no book around can show you how
Well I was walking by the graveyard yester-noon
And I saw a bunch of people crowded round a new tomb
A grave, done the face nice and rough
It said "not a good thief and not so tough"
You should have toughened up son, you should have toughened up good
You might have not been knocked down right where you stood
You should have toughened up son‚ you should have toughened up grand
It's the only way a man can survive in this land
It's the only way a man can survive in this land
