Tuff Kid Lyrics

I was a tuff kid, yeah, I was a tuff kid

It took a lot to get me on my knees

And I had a hard time, yeah, I had a hard time

Just ask somebody if you don't believe me

And my mama had me but she didn't get me

I guess I broke her at the age of five

And my daddy hit me but he couldn't quit me

We showed each other how to feel alive

So say, hey everybody at the old schoolyard

Took it all the way and we took it hard

Tell the kind of things that make you feel alright

Said the kind of things that keep you up at night

It was a small town but it didn't fit me

There wasn't anything I could do

And so I had my guitar and I took it with me

Oh, just like every single kid I knew

We say, hey everybody at the old schoolyard

Took it all the way and we took it hard

Did the kind of things that make you feel alright

Said the kind of things that keep you up at night

Not last night but the night before the

Twenty four hours getting to my door

They don't fall far and they don't fall hard

And they're knocking back till the 4th of July

They say, hey everybody at the old schoolyard

Took it all the way and we took it hard

Did the kind of things that make you feel alright

Said the kind of things that keep you up at night

Hey everybody at the old schoolyard

Took it all the way and we took it hard

Did the kind of things that make you feel alright

Said the kind of things that keep you up at night
