Tough Lyrics by Tom O’Connor

Night Owl

2020

[Verse 1]
Everybody's walking on eggshells, ain't nobody speaking the truth
Everybody's scared to say what they think, might offend you if they do
Everybody's kids are perfect, ain't nobody getting the belt
Everybody's got a problem, blame everybody but themselves
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to getting bucked off and getting back on that horse?
Whatever happened to standing your ground and something worth fighting for?
Where did we go wrong? Man, I had enough
Whatеver happened to tough?
[Verse 2]
Evеrybody's holding their hand out, ain't nobody willing to work
Everybody's getting a trophy, they ain't even come in first
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to getting bucked off and getting back on that horse?
Whatever happened to standing your ground and something worth fighting for?
Where did we go wrong? Man, I had enough
Whatever happened to tough?
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Hit me with sticks and stones and broken bones
What don't kill you makes you strong
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to getting bucked off and getting back on that horse?
Whatever happened to standing your ground and something worth fighting for?
Where did we go wrong? Man, I had enough
Whatever happened to tough? (Where did we go wrong?)
Whatever happened to tough? (Where did we go wrong?)
Whatever happened to tough? (Where did we go wrong?)
(Where did we go wrong?)
