Well she's waiting for the
bus down on the boulevard
Pretty little working girl
She ain't got no fancy clothes
don't got no fancy car
She's a waitress at
the bar and grill
She's on her own now
he left and went away
He really broke her heart
it just worked out that way
(chorus)
Well all over and oh, oh, over
things are tough all over
Well all over and oh, oh, over
things, things are tough all over
Well he's drinking at the bar
down by the old boat yard
He sits and he talks to strangers
The factory laid him off
right as his life was getting hard
It's enough to keep a good man down
He's got that look in his eye
there's just no words to say
It's tough to swallow your pride
each and everyday
(chorus)
This one's for the broken hearted
It's tough just to get things started
over again, over again
(instrumental)
He's got that look in his eye
there's just no words to say
It's tough to swallow your pride
each and everyday
(chorus)
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
and oh, oh, over
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
and oh, oh, over
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
and oh, oh, over
Things are tough all over
It ain't easy.
Life is tough for some folks.
Just gotta keep smilin' and fightin' - try
your best and don't give up.
