Album: "Don't Let Go"

The song was written by Wynn Varble.
I actually like his guitar solo performance better.


Intro
Em  D  C   Em  D  C


Em                                             C 
You think you're tough with your bass speakers kicking in the back 
D                                                     Em
And your triple X lyrics blaring from your puke green Cadillac 
Em                                                             C
You've got your bling bling on And your tattoos running up and down your arms 
D                                                       Em
Ah ain't you bad with the seat of your britches hanging down that far
D                                       C
Hey. I hate to break it to you punk But all that stuff
D                                  C
ain't got a thing to do with being tough


      Em            D
Cause tough is your fingers bleeding 
       C                          D
It's a hundred degrees and you're gettin up hay
Em            D
Tough is your old man yelling 
       C                               D
Get up out of that bed at the break of day 
Am7                        CM9             C
Keeping on going when you know you've had enough

       Em     D    C
That's tough


Em                                         C
It might seem that I'm comin down a little hard on you 
D                                                            Em
But you think you're a man and you still gotta lot of growin up to do 
Em                                                             C
I bet you talk a big game when you're hangin' with your boys in some pool hall 
D                                                        Em
But I wonder how you'd act if you ever had your back up against the wall 
D                                              C
Yeah I'm sure those joints you hang out in get pretty rough 
D                                         C
But you've got a lot to learn about being tough


      Em         D
Cause tough is a single mom
C                        D
workin three jobs so her kids can eat
Em               D
Tough is reading bed time stories 
C                               D
when your body's begging you to go to sleep 
Am                CM9              C
Given all you've got for what you love 

       Em      D   C
That's tough


D                                                 C
See it wasn't very long ago My little brother was about your age 
D                                             C
He joined the Corp and before we knew it they shipped him away 
C
So far away 

    Em         D
And tough is a momma cryin
C                     D
waving goodbye as her baby leaves
Em         D
Tough is a teenage soldier
C                                   D
on the front lines fighting just to keep you free
Am7                  CM9           C
Prayin for one more day from God above 

       Em      D   C
That's tough
           Em      D   C
Son that's tough 
       Em      D   C
(Spoken) Pull your britches up boy! 
       Em      D   C
(Spoken) Take a little pride in yourself
