Too Tough to Die

(Too tough to die) I always wonder why My mama left town New Haven ain't a bag of salt When nobody knows your name You look so different over the phone Seven states away they're doin' Doin' the strange fruit swing When they come down You have to leave town I am Too tough to die I am Too tough to die Blessed are those who believe Who believe and have not seen I wasn't there And it's got me wondering The man you make then and now he's burning School's are learning you can't unlearn it No room to turn Let alone run And I am Too tough to die I am Too tough to die It's in their eyes It's unspoken Don't even know they're out to do you harm Can't even see the pulse beating In the axle of your arm Outlaw wearin' diamond patches of sunlight on his coat Livin in a cage make a 7 time daddy Lose his mind to roam Derision's a cold wind against my skin You keep a-flayin til there's no skin at all What's to hold it together when you stumble And you fall I am Too tough to die I am Too tough to die
