‘Tough as Nails’ At the junction in a red dress Holding flowers she picked herself Crumpled paper with his old address Kept it years on a dusty shelf Life coulda been so good If everything worked out But it don't really matter It don't matter now Tough as nails, she's gonna win Get through this heartache Get by without him Tough as nails, out on a limb Gotta keep on trying She gonna find him Someone said they saw him Last December by the brook N' he was asking for her But they might have been mistook Only saw him once Sad and lonely in the cold Look like he been crying Waiting all alone Tough as nails, he gonna win Get through this heartache Be with his girl again Tough as nails, out on a limb Gotta keep on trying She'll come back to him Hard to keep on running Harder giving in Tears just keep on coming Through the thick and thin Been some bridges burned Some hurt they can't take back And all the lessons learned Gone up in a smokestack Tomorrow and forever High hopes of yesteryear Dreams they dreamed together Holding still here Shadows in the churchyard Time is slowing down Searching, always searching It don't matter now Tough as nails, who can win Get through this hard life Make it right all right again Tough as nails, out on a limb Gotta keep on trying Lost and still living Tough as nails, who can win Get through this hard life Make it right all right again Tough as nails, out on a limb Gotta keep on trying Lost and still living Tough as nails Tough as nails Tough as nails Tough as nails Tough as nails © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 21st October 2021 https://maria-daines.com/ https://tinyurl.com/MariaDainesSpotify https://www.facebook.com/MariaDainesBand/ https://music.apple.com/il/artist/maria-daines/80073307 https://tinyurl.com/MariaDainesAmazonUnlimited https://twitter.com/MariaDaines https://mariadaines.bandcamp.com/ Our grateful thanks to Free-Photos for the great cover picture.
