LYRICS, THE STORY IN THE MUSIC
Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry
{c: Verse 1:}
Y’all know I grew up around here
And I know just where to go
To get your old truck repaired or find a fine fishin’ hole
You’ve seen me up on that bar stool a native son and a
self made fool sipping whiskey and my cold brew
The woman on my arm is a tattoo
{c: Verse 2:}
Y’all know the girl this song is about
Ever since we were back in school
She dated our buddy Jim put a hurtin’ on
Him and left him lickin’ his wounds
I been rode hard and put up wet
Ain’t found a woman that can break me yet
Hard as the trail in a cowboy song
Lonesome as the coyote who’s howling along
{c: Verse 3:}
Thought I’d try my luck one night
Win a dance with this Cowboy’s Delight
Have her over for a night or two
Find out how she likes her coffee brewed
She stole my records and cashed my paycheck
Since then ain’t one of my friends that she ain’t slept with
Pawned my guns and scratched my guitar
Then went and drove my truck into a fence of barbed wire
{c: Bridge}
With her dangerous curves she’s like an old mountain road
I’m holding onto the wheel but I want to let go
She’s a Blue Jean Queen from the old south land
Lucky you and me she’s got a popular brand
{c: Chorus}
Thought I was the king of hearts but I will abdicate my crown
What do y’all say we have another round
Lift up your glass for the Toughest Heart In Town
She’s showing up and going down
Ain’t got no love just playing like a clown
We’re broken up and ain’t hanging around
She ain’t gonna break the Toughest Heart In Town
{c: Verse 4:}
I spend most of my spare time in this old Honky Tonk
They got each beer up on the wall and a neon sign out front
I’m dyed in the wool and cured on the vine
I come in here looking for a damn good time
and so did you, but we’ve all known her and we all got a case of the Blues
{c: Bridge}
I’ve been smoking my breakfast and drinking my dinner
Burning out like a candle with its wick in the middle
I need a damn good woman in a real bad way
Not a big bad momma that ain’t gonna stay
{c: Chorus}
Thought I was the king of hearts but I will abdicate my crown
What do y’all say we have another round
Lift up your glass for the Toughest Heart In Town
She’s showing up and going down
Ain’t got no love just playing like a clown
We’re broken up and ain’t hanging around
She ain’t gonna break the Toughest Heart In Town
no no no
She’s showing up and going down
Ain’t got no love just playing like a clown
We’re broken up and ain’t hanging around
She ain’t gonna break the Toughest Heart In this whole damn town
