Born Tough

Well, my daddy always told me I was living in a man's world But that don't mean there ain't room for a big-hearted girl So my mama took me pickin' said that we could buy a set of tools So that I could build my own life and play by my own rules I was set in my ways, I had made up my mind I was filing for divorce by the age of 29 Couldn't see the light at the end of the road Had to stop and think of how the story goes I was born tough, torn up Hardened by time I've been let down, all around Discouraged by life And it gets hard not to cry So I have a thousand times Well, I was born tough Well, I can say for certain I was hell-bent on leaving town So I hitched myself a trailer, packed the things I couldn't live without I was bound and determined to never go back there Didn't matter to me then, could have been anywhere Things are different now, it just don't feel the same When they call me by my old name I was born tough, torn up Hardened by time I've been let down, all around Discouraged by life And it gets hard not to cry So I have a thousand times And I can hold on for so long And never let go I can ride out, shoot the lights out And close out the show But when I say I've had enough Darling, don't you call my bluff 'Cause I was born tough I was born tough Well, I know it ain't easy And no one ever said it should be But that don't mean it ain't worth believing in someone or something I was born tough, torn up And hardened by time I've been let down, all around Discouraged by life And it gets hard not to cry So I have a thousand times And I can hold on for so long And never let go I can ride out, shoot the lights out And close out the show But when I say I've had enough (yeah) Darling, don't you call my bluff Yeah, when I say I've had enough Darling, don't you call my bluff 'Cause I was born tough I was born tough I was born tough I was born tough And I've had enough
