Tough It Out

We gon' tough it out, all the way down

Up before the rooster in the fog, man
Diesel in the tank and a job, man
Heat come off the pavement like a stove, man
Every dollar made, I know where it go, man
Went from nothing to a little, little to a lot
Still I pull up to the same parking lot
Same gas station where I had my first job
Still I say "yes, ma'am," still I nod

Mama working doubles
Daddy's in the ground
Brother's in the service
I'm the man in town

We gon' tough it out, all the way down
Dirt road, back road, no way out
When the whole world's shaking, hold your ground
We gon' tough it out, all the way down

All the way down
(Tough it out)
All the way

They said we ain't make it outta county lines
Now we on the radio in the summertime
Hands still callused and the boots still worn
Same kid who was working on the day he was born
Every time it storms, we don't run and hide
Every time it floods, we get on the other side
Got a family counting, got a crew that's real
Everything I say is the way I feel

Mama working doubles
Daddy's in the ground
Brother's in the service
I'm the man in town

We gon' tough it out, all the way down
Dirt road, back road, no way out
When the whole world's shaking, hold your ground
We gon' tough it out, all the way down

Hold on, hold on
Keep your head up high
Hold on, hold on
Keep your truck in drive
Hold on, hold on
All the way down

We gon' tough it out, all the way down
Dirt road, back road, no way out
When the whole world's shaking, hold your ground
We gon' tough it out, all the way down

All the way down
(Tough it out)
All the way down
