Me and hannah did everything together, said we'd be best friends forever

Then her mama got a job that was better, cross the parish line

And I was one summer shy of eleven

When granddaddy took a ride up to heaven

It ain't ever been an easy lesson, on how to say goodbye

They say what don't kill ya makes ya stronger, and I believe that's right.

For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken

A whisper in the dark says I won't make it

I know it's just the devil

Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer

No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin

I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin

I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other

Life is tough, but this girl's tougher.

I'm a sucker for a boy with blue eyes, a pair of boots and an old four-wheel drive

So when I saw you in the july moonlight, I thought oh good lord

I let you lay that sun kiss on me, and open up that truck door for me

Now I find out that I ain't the only girl you're doin that for

You're gonna get a good cry from me tonight, but nothin more.

For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken

A whisper in the dark says I won't make it

I know it's just the devil

Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer

No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin

I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin

I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other

Life is tough, but this girl's tougher.

Than anything you throw my way, yeah I might bend but I won't break

You ain't the first, won't be the last to make me feel this way.

For every lowdown beatin this old hearts taken

A whisper in the dark says I won't make it

I know it's just the devil

Doin what he does tryin to make me suffer

No matter what the battle is keepin me prayin

I gotta be strong, I gotta keep sayin

I'm gonna make it through it one way or the other

Life is tough, but this girl's tougher.

Life is tough, but this girl's tougher.
