Tough Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boy, I'll teach you how to hunt
How to take a hit when you wanna run
I'll teach you how to drink a beer, drive a stick
Throw a fastball and catch a fish
I'll teach you how to be tough
[Chorus]
But when she walks in, she'll mess you up
She'll make you wanna learn to dance and go clean out your truck
You're gonna think you're strong enough
But when she looks you in the eyes and tells you she's in love
Well, good luck being tough
[Verse 2]
When it gets late, drive her home
You'll wanna stay the night, but it's better if you don't
And, boy, you're gonna have your first fight
And you won't sleep at all
She'll stay at her best friend's
And won't pick up your calls
[Chorus]
But when she walks in, she'll mess you up
Boy, say you're sorry first 'cause that's what a real man does
You're gonna think you're strong enough
But when you almost lose the woman that you love
Oh, good luck being tough
Yeah, good luck being tough
Boy, I'll teach you how to hunt
How to take a hit when you wanna run
I'll teach you how to drink a beer, drive a stick
Throw a fastball and catch a fish
I'll teach you how to be tough
[Chorus]
But when she walks in, she'll mess you up
She'll make you wanna learn to dance and go clean out your truck
You're gonna think you're strong enough
But when she looks you in the eyes and tells you she's in love
Well, good luck being tough
[Verse 2]
When it gets late, drive her home
You'll wanna stay the night, but it's better if you don't
And, boy, you're gonna have your first fight
And you won't sleep at all
She'll stay at her best friend's
And won't pick up your calls
[Chorus]
But when she walks in, she'll mess you up
Boy, say you're sorry first 'cause that's what a real man does
You're gonna think you're strong enough
But when you almost lose the woman that you love
Oh, good luck being tough
Yeah, good luck being tough
[Chorus 2]
When she walks in, and they say all rise
And she's standing with her daddy in all white
You're gonna think you're strong enough
But hold your breath, boy, 'cause here she comes
Good luck being tough
Good luck being tough
When she walks in, and they say all rise
And she's standing with her daddy in all white
You're gonna think you're strong enough
But hold your breath, boy, 'cause here she comes
Good luck being tough
Good luck being tough

What did Dylan Scott say about "Tough"?
Genius Answer
Of all the lyrics in the song, the very first line, ‘Boy, I’ll teach you how to hunt.’ I’m a big hunter. I grew up hunting, so that one caught me. And then honestly, I love the first chorus when it comes in and says, ‘When she walks in, she’ll mess you up, make you want to learn to dance and go clean out your truck.’ Yeah, that’s me. I’ve been there. I’ve done that.
