Shawn Colvin - Tuff Kid lyrics

I was a tuff kid Yeah I was a tuff kid It took a lot to get me on my knees I had a hard time Yeah I had a hard time Just ask somebody if you don't believe me. My mama had me But she didn't get me I guess I broke her at the age of 5 My daddy hit me But he couldn't quit me We showed each other how to feel alive Say hey everybody at the old school yard Took it all the way and we took it hard Did a lot of things make you feel alright Said the kind of things keep you up at night. It was a small town And it didn't fit me There wasn't anything that I could do So I found a guitar And I took it with me Just like every single kid I knew. We say hey everybody at the old schoolyard Took it all the way and we took it hard Did the kind of things make you feel alright Said the kind of things keep you up at night.
