Tougher Than Nails

Joe Diffie

Little 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,



(Bridge)

Said son I won't stop ya, but before you go,

Let me tell you a little story bout the toughest man I know,



(Chorus:)

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,



(Bridge)

Whenever I'm in doubt, I look up what he said,

It's all there in the good book, in black and whitnd red,



(Chorus:)

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,

Yea in the end he showed them,

He was any-thing but frail,

They hammered him to a cross,

But he was tougher than nails,

Tougher than nails, oh, oh, oh,
