tough people do
Back in 39 she was 26 The wife of a soldier tryin' to raise four kids On rationed out beans and watered down milk Tryin' to keep 'em all warm with a patchwork quilt That great depression ended about 1945 But grandma lived to be 92 See, tough times don't last Tough people do  Tough people pull themselves up by the bootstraps When they hit hard luck And they stay strong and they keep on fightin' Like they don't know how to lose Tough times don't last Tough people do  Those talkin' heads on cnn Say we'll never get out of this hole we're in Price of gas is up and the market's down And there's a bunch of empty houses in every town Well, I'd interrupt that program with a little headline of my own This just in from the old red, white and blue Tough times don't last Tough people do  Tough people pull themselves up by the bootstraps When they hit hard luck And they stay strong and they keep on fightin' Like they don't know how to lose Tough times don't last Tough people do  I've been out of work since mid july My bank account's about bone dry Been lookin' for a job no luck so far But I bought a little time when I sold my car Well, I'll go dig a ditch if that's what it takes Baby, somehow or another we'll get through  Tough times don't last Tough times don't last Tough people do Tough people do
