From my bedroom I heard daddy
talkin' to someone... he said
Son, you'll find somebody else
remember you're still young
Well I know I've never heard my brother
cry that hard before
Then I heard daddy say to him
as they walked out on the porch...
Chorus:
Cry tough
you gotta dig down deep inside
I know it hurts to hold a dream
and then see it all unwind
sometimes life can be so rough
but we play the hand that's dealt to us
that don't mean givin' in and it don't mean givin' up
Now it's all right to cry
Just cry tough
Well, at twenty one I packed my bags
moved a thousand miles from home
It wasn't long 'fore the man I loved
and the job I had were gone
When my friends all said I told you so
it nearly brought me to my knees
that's when I heard my Daddy's words
like he was standing next to me...
Chorus:
Cry tough
you gotta dig down deep inside
I know it hurts to hold a dream
and then see it all unwind
sometimes life can be so rough
but we play the hand that's dealt to us
that don't mean givin' in and it don't mean givin' up
Now it's all right to cry
Just cry tough
Tag:
Now it's all right to cry...
Just cry tough!
