"The Strong One" lyrics - CLINT BLACK

When God made woman I wonder sometimes
If it was a flower he had in mind when he made her
A touch as gentle as a butterfly
A kiss so sweet it could stop time forever
God gave man a chance to be the kind of strength a woman needs
He was suppose to be the one to carry that load

[Chorus:]
But there she goes
Baby in her arms
World on her shoulder when her day starts
Working a job that don't pay much
But she thanks God it's enough
There she is
On her own two feet
He walked out
But she's still got dreams
Tries to laugh when she feels like crying
Nobody blame her if she stopped trying
But she's got a heart that gives and gives
Now you tell me who the strong one is

Tonight's the first night in a while
She put on her makeup wearing a smile
She'd going out
And everything was all planned out
But the fever that the baby's got now
It's all shot down
She gives up what she wants to do for what she has to
That's what a momma does
She'll be there like she always is
When the son comes up

[Chorus:]
And there she goes
Baby in her arms
World on her shoulder when her day starts
Working a job that don't pay much
But she thanks God it's enough
There she is
On her own two feet
He walked out
But she's still got dreams
Tries to laugh when she feels like crying
Nobody blame her if she stopped trying
But she's got a heart that gives and gives
So you tell me who the strong one is

And there she is on her own two feet
He walked out but she's still got dreams
Tries to laugh when she feels like crying
Nobody blame her if she stopped trying
But she got a heart that gives and gives
So you tell me who the strong one is

You tell me who the strong one is
