Tougher Than Nails Lyrics - Joe Diffie

Little boy walks in with a bloody nose 

Got beat up on his way home from school again 

His dad caught him running out the back 

Tears in his eyes and a baseball bat, ooh revenge 

Said, "Son I won't stop ya but before you go 

Let me tell you a little story 'bout the toughest man I know 

You hit him and he just turns the other cheek 

But don't think for a minute he was weak 

'Cause in the end he showed them he was anything but frail 

They hammered him to a cross but he was tougher than nails" 

Well he dropped that bat like it weighed a ton 

Father put his arms around his son and said, "Just let it go" 

Believe me I've been in your shoes had to ask myself 

"What would Jesus do?" And here's what I know 

Whenever I'm in doubt I look up what he said 

It's all there in the good book in black and white and red 

Hit him and he just turns the other cheek 

But don't think for a minute he was weak 

'Cause in the end he showed them he was anything but frail 

They hammered him to a cross but he was tougher than nails 

Yeah, in the end he showed them he was anything but frail 

They hammered him to a cross but he was tougher than nails 

Tougher than nails, oh, oh, oh
