Tough as a pine knot, hard as a nail

Just give me one shot and I'll give 'er hell

I've been beat down, pushed around but I ain't had enough

Well there's holes on this road way and they make me swerve

But I don't mind, no, I got the nerve

To hang on for dear life even when the rides a bit rough



Yes you do what you do till you can't no more

You can wait for a break or break down the door

It's a calloused hand crazy playin' man that makes that history

Rome wasn't built in no day and Elvis wasn't born a king



You know I'm broken but I can fix anything

Life's a tornado, it ain't a breeze

It blows me around but someday I'll land on my feet



I ain't prayin' for no bed of roses

But just the strength to get to where I'm goin' 

I pray that my angels can, can keep up with me



Oh you do what you do till you can't no more

You can wait for a break or break down the door

It's a calloused hand crazy playin' man that makes that history

Rome wasn't built in no day and Elvis wasn't born a king



Tough as a pine knot, hard as a nail



Yes you do what you do till you can't no more

You can wait for a break or break down the door

It's a calloused hand crazy playin' man that makes that history

Rome wasn't built in no day and Elvis wasn't born a king



Rome wasn't built in no day and Elvis wasn't born a king
