Raised up right by being raised all wrong,
She’s quick to learn from where others went astray.
It all started when she was just a child,
And those lessons still shape her every day.
She mostly grew up raising herself,
Doing what she had to do to survive.
She’s the toughest girl you’ll ever meet in life,
But when it comes to love, I’ve seen her cry.
She’s got a heart tough as saddle leather,
Worn and weathered through the years.
She’s been treated right and treated wrong,
But it almost always ends in tears.
When it comes to love, hearts like hers don’t easily open,
‘Cause the toughest ones are often the most easily broken.
Doing her best just to make ends meet,
She worries and works through every day.
A little help and someone to love
Would surely go a long, long, long, way.
Life’s been rough, and love’s been rougher,
But there’s one thing she’s sure she’ll do:
Be the parent she once needed herself,
And do what it takes to follow through.
She’s got a heart tough as saddle leather,
Worn and weathered through the years.
She’s been treated right and treated wrong,
But it almost always ends in tears.
When it comes to love, hearts like hers don’t easily open,
‘Cause the toughest ones are often the most easily broken.
Someday someone will walk into her life,
Stand by her through the good and bad.
Someone to love her till the end of time,
The greatest love she’s ever had.
That lucky man will see the fight in her eyes,
And her tough heart will start to soften with time.
She’s got a heart tough as saddle leather,
Worn and weathered through the years.
She’s been treated right and treated wrong,
But it almost always ends in tears.
When it comes to love, hearts like hers don’t easily open,
‘Cause the toughest ones are often the most easily broken.
