It’s tough........Baby  it’s  tough         It’s  tough.......Baby it’s  TOUGH!



 
The Heartland is now a wasteland…
Gone in the gray smoke of this rundown industrial town
and the sons and daughters left in its wake
I still see the ghosts of our Fathers who worked these mills
 
Your mama warned you, but still u believed me, when I said we would go far
But all those seeds seemed to rust out in the weeds of this abandoned steel yard
And can you ever forgive me for making life this hard?
It’s tough....it's tough

Honey, I try so hard each and every day
I hope and pray, do anything,  to make these bills go away
And I know livin’ in Mama’s basement is not where you deserve to stay….
But it’s tuff…It’s tuff
