Hard People

We're hard people, but we're soft for you

Grew up on the wrong side of a trailer park
Learned to throw a punch before I learned to spark
Daddy wasn't home and Mama worked the night
Only thing I knew was how to fight
Now I got a daughter with her mama's eyes
And I'm learning how to sing her lullabies
Callused hands can hold a baby soft
Didn't know it till I tried

I got a record
I got a past
But we'd walk through fire
If you only asked

We're hard people, but we're soft for you
Scars on our knuckles and our hearts too
Every rough road that we've been through
We're hard people, but we're soft for you

Hard people
(Soft for you)
Hard people

I've been knocked down more than I can count
I've been the girl that they talk about
I've been to rehab and I've been to church
And I've been to places that were way, way worse
But I got a man who holds the door
I got a reason to live some more
Tough on the outside, tender inside
That's the way we survive

I got a record
I got a past
But we'd walk through fire
If you only asked

We're hard people, but we're soft for you
Scars on our knuckles and our hearts too
Every rough road that we've been through
We're hard people, but we're soft for you

Hold me like I'm glass
Even though I'm stone
Hold me like I'm glass
Take me home
Hold me like I'm glass
Take me home

We're hard people, but we're soft for you
Scars on our knuckles and our hearts too
Every rough road that we've been through
We're hard people, but we're soft for you

We're hard people, but we're soft for you

Hard people
(Soft for you)
Hard people

Hard people
(Soft for you)
Hard people
