Country Tough

Burn County

Well, I've been knocked down, yeah, I've taken a few hits

Lord knows I got the scars to prove it

Never had nobody hand me a thing

Had to go toe to toe for my family name, and

Held the throttle through the thickest of mud

And learned there ain't no water ever thicker than blood, no

Stand proud, buckle down when the times get rough

That's country tough (yeah)

Country tough (we country tough where I come from)

(SMO, Burn County, let's go)

See, I was raised up in 'em boondocks

Where 'em coyotes run all night

And I was raised right to trust my dog

And he talks slick and we don't fight

'Cause I never run from no problems

You bring 'em, then we'll solve 'em

And my paps told me as the youngest son

You better walk the things that you talkin'

'Til my coffin drops, I made one, ride for all my day ones

We'll plant seeds 'til our hands bleed

And then smile when all that rain comes

'Cause that's money, baby ('cause that's money, baby)

Don't come around here talkin' funny, baby

Got a hundred plus of them bumpers

Waitin' outside half drunk with a pistol wavin'

I've been prayin' since a young man, and I'll trust God 'til I'm gone

I don't give a damn who's in DC, I'ma get it all on my own

Country strong, country tough

We get by with just enough

Papa told me plenty lessons

While he pegged his lip with snuff

In this rough road with no seat belts

We do it all, we don't need help

So I'm all in with a win in hand

'Cause I'm playin' cards that we've dealt

And I'm straight to tell you anything

But my people speak that truth

And they know I'm always gonna ride for 'em

When I'm in and out that booth

Well, I've been knocked down, yeah, I've taken a few hits

Lord knows I got the scars to prove it

Never had nobody hand me a thing

Had to go toe to toe for my family name, and

Held the throttle through the thickest of mud

And learned there ain't no water ever thicker than blood, no

Stand proud, buckle down when the times get rough

That's country tough (yeah, whad up kinfolk?)

Country tough (it's your boy, SMO)

(Let me talk to you for a minute, check, check)

Yeah, I was raised down sugar creek where life was so sweet (sweet)

In the summertime, mama's ice tea got me through the heat (mama)

Daddy, he was a navy man, since he was 17 (that's right)

So we grew up all real freedom chasin' American dreams

Work hard, love God, keep it country tough

Raisin' hell down 'em dirt roads in papa's Ford truck (whoo)

Bonfires in the backwoods, chillin' with my folks (whad up?)

Sippin' pokey brown out the bottle, blowin' homegrown smoke (yeah)

I got it out the mud with the Tennessee love, so I

Fight for what's right when push come to sure

I'm just a small town boy with some grown man dreams

And I found everything I need here in the sticks where I be, so I

Plant my seeds to grow up strong from the roots

Another day, another hustle gotta lace up them boots

'Cause the world keeps spinnin' (spinnin')

And the clock don't stop (ah-ah)

Better get it how you livin' (livin')

Just to make it to the top (let's go)

Well, I've been knocked down, yeah, I've taken a few hits

Lord knows I got the scars to prove it

Never had nobody hand me a thing

Had to go toe to toe for my family name, and

Held the throttle through the thickest of mud

And learned there ain't no water ever thicker than blood, no

Stand proud, buckle down when the times get rough

That's country tough

Held the throttle through the thickest of mud

(Country strong, country tough, we get by with just enough)

Country tough

Never had nobody hand me a thing

(Work hard, love God, keep it country tough)

Country tough

Held the throttle through the thickest of mud

And learned there ain't no water ever thicker than blood, no

Country tough (country strong, country tough)

(We get by with just enough)
