Growlers, The - Going Gets Tuff Lyrics






Have work in the morning
And up at the crack of dawn
All my money worries
Wherever I go come along

Worry's a bully
That just won't let me be
Trying to keep me busy
Tussling and struggling

No home since the fire
Me and the ash can't settle down
Unsure of where I'm bound
So I sink another round

Placebo for pain
And there's no one for to blame
I refuse to accept
That my work is all in vain

Worry's a bully
That just won't let me be
Trying to keep me busy
Tussling and struggling

Still always remembering
When the going gets tuff
That the labor of our love
Will reward us soon enough

Still always remembering
When the going gets tuff
That the labor of our love
Will reward us soon enough

Man's never alone
If he can offer help
Always thinking of
Everyone else before himself

Worry's a bully
That just won't let me be
Trying to keep me busy
Tussling and struggling

No home since the fire
Me and the ash can't settle down
Unsure of where I'm bound
So I sink another round

Placebo for pain
And there's no one for to blame
I refuse to accept
That my work is all in vain

Worry's a bully
That just won't let me be
Trying to keep me busy
Tussling and struggling

Still always remembering
When the going gets tuff
That the labor of our love
Will reward us soon enough

Still always remembering
When the going gets tuff
That the labor of our love
Will reward us soon enough

  6. T.... o....

    This will always be my favorite song. The first time I saw them live, I gave them a shot. I knew of them since 08 Cos I lived in SoCal. But, always thought they were pretentious lol I saw them at a festival in San Bernardino... This song was played and I appreciated the lyrics and sound so much. I listen to this almost every time I feel low or depressed. Not to mention I’m obsessed with Brooks wife and kids. They are such a beautiful family ❤️

  7. L.... C....

    I had this song on the playlist I listened to during the woolsey fire in California almost a year ago. I have 3 memories of that 24+ hour experience, the first one is packing all the important things, and then getting to the things I’ve had my entire life and just sitting there for a minute not knowing what to bring. The second one is at around 4 am my family was asleep in the living room and I was forcing myself to be awake to listen to the radio and news waiting for the fire to jump the freeway, a lot of the people I knew were all checking in on each other making sure everyone was gonna be ok and reassuring that we will make it through the fire. And the final memory was driving along the coastline with the horse trailer and the horses being pulled behind us with a massive plume I’d smoke covering the son and making a redish light, the ocean was so clean is the weird thing. Thank you for reading this if you did☺️ have a nice day

    L.... C....

    Lu Cardenas I don’t know you, but I’m happy you all made it out ok. Your story touched me. I wish you and your family all the best.

  8. D.... G....

    Right in the feels. Bravo..bravo.

  9. B.... B....

    This song reminds me of the point of life.... be in the present and love. Love will manifest everything you’ve ever wanted!!! Love will always win!!!!

    Off work in the morning and
    Up at the crack of dawn
    All my money worries 
    Wherever I go come along
    Worry's a bully that just won't let me be
    Trying to keep me busy
    Tussling and struggling
    No home since the fire
    Me and the ash can't settle down
    Unsure of where I'm bound
    So I sink another round
    Placebo for pain
    And there's no one for to blame
    I refuse to accept that my work is all in vain
    Worry's a bully that just won't let me be
    Trying to keep me busy
    Tussling and struggling 
    Still always remembering when the going get's tough
    That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough
    Still always remembering when the going get's tough
    That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough
    Man's never alone, if he can offer help
    Always thinking of everyone else before himself
    Worry's a bully that just won't let me be
    Trying to keep me busy
    Tussling and struggling
    No home since the fire
    Me and the ash can't settle down
    Unsure of where I'm bound
    So I sink another round
    Placebo for pain
    And there's no one for to blame 
    I refuse to accept that my work is all in vain
    Worry's a bully that just won't let me be
    Trying to keep me busy
    Tussling and struggling
    Still always remembering when the going get's tough
    That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough
    Still always remembering when the going get's tough
    That the labor of our love will reward us soon enough

  86. M.... T....

    Que buena banda! Ojala vengan a argentina]!!!!

  87. I.... ....

    It's a common thought to not like this album at first because it's different and "cleaner" sounding than previous albums, but trust me, about the 6-7th time you listen through, you'll start to like it. I can't stop listening to it now. Beautiful album.

    I.... ....

    I discovered The Growlers and Chinese Fountain ten months ago. And I still listen to it at least two times a week.

    I.... ....

    Dilay Switch right? just him kinda talking

    I.... ....

    its his preachy song. he talks about how the internet is the new god, and we're sacrificing our humanity to it
    and, my favorite,
    how techno is so shitty its bringing disco back

    I.... ....

    First album I've heard from them and I love it.

    I.... ....

    Honestly I think this album is their best one

  88. U.... S....

    What an unbelieveable tune!!i think its my favourite one from the Chinese Fountain,thanks for uploading!:D
