Gary Allen - Tough Little Boys Lyrics

Tough Little Boys
Well I never once backed down from a punch
Well I take it square on the chin
Well I found out fast that bullies just laugh
And we’ve got to stand up again
So I didn’t cry when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt I’d just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Scared me to death when you took your first steps
Well I’d fall every time you fell down
Your first day to school I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town
Well I didn’t cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well I’m a grown man but as strong as I am
Well sometimes it’s hard to believe
That one little girl with little blond curls
Can totally terrify me
If you were to ask my wife would just laugh
She’d say “I know all about men”
Now tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well I know one day I’ll give you away
And I’m gonna stand there and smile
But when I get home and I’m all alone
And I’ll sit in your room for a while
Well I didn’t cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
When tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
