JOE DIFFIE
"Tougher Than Nails"
(Phil O'Donnell)

A little boy walks in with a bloody nose
Got beat up on his way home from school...
Again!
His dad caught him runnin out the back
Tears in his eyes and a baseball bat
Oohooh revenge!
Said "son I won't stop you but before you go
Let me tell you a little story bout the
Toughest man I know

They hit him and he just turned the other cheek
Don't think for a minute, he was weak
'Cuz 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

They hit him and he just turned the other cheek
Don't think for a minute, he was weak
'Cuz 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 from nails!

Ooh ooh oh oh!
