Tuff Kid - Shawn Colvin

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
