It's Tough Lyrics - Singles - Marty Falle

I used to think I was building us a dream 

Now each an every day feels like paddling up stream 

They say "to work is to pray", 

But Id rather just get paid 

Its tough. it's tough 

YTown, aint no Boomtown, this aint 1963 

All these factories keep on closing down, 

And theres nothin left for me. 

And now you say you have to sell your wedding ring 

Its tough....it's tough. 

Bridge: 

There aint no easy way, 

Its sweat, blood and faith and the pain goes on 

Saying I love you, Babe just aint near enough 

When life gets this rough 

And I broke every promise to your daddy that day 

When he said you could be mine 

Its tough....it's tough 

2nd Bridge: 

Your mama warned you, 

But still, you believed me, 

When I said we would go far. 

But all those seeds seemed to rust 

out in the weeds of this abandoned steel yard 

And can you ever forgive me for making life this hard? 

Its tough....it's tough 

Honey, I try so hard each and every day 

I hope and pray, do anything, 

To make these bills go away 

And I know livin in Mamas basement 

is not where you deserve to stay. 

But its toughIts tough 

Here I am again, I go and stand in this line 

With a hundred other guys that see a help wanted sign 

But anyone can see this is the end of the line. 

Its toughIts tough. 

The Heartland is now a wasteland 

Gone in the gray smoke of this rundown industrial town 

And the sons and daughters left in its wake 

I still see the ghosts of our Fathers who worked these mills
