Joe Diffie - Tougher Than Nails Lyrics






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

    LyricsLittle boy walks in with a bloody nose,
    Got beat up on his way home from school, aga-in,
    His dad caught him running out the back,
    Tears in his eyes and a baseball bat, oo 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,
    Don't think for a minute he was weak,
    'Cause in the end he showed them,
    He was any-thing but frail,
    They hammered him to a cross,
    But he was tougher than nails,Well he droped that bat like it weighed a ton,
    Father put his arms around his son and said, just let it go--oo,
    Believe me I've been in your shoes, 
    Had to ask myself what would Jesus do, here's what I know,Whenever I'm in doubt, I look up what he said,

    @ConditionOfAnonymity I like Joe Diffie too, but a lot of his music is already on youtube, and I don't like to duplicate, unless it's one I really like. 90% of the music I post, I put up first, because I check to see if it's on here before I post. Many other posters don't do that. But there is a couple early Diffie songs I really like and will post them just for you, even though they're already out there.

    Joe I love all of your songs you are best out thire I love you for making a big come back
