Little boy walks in with a bloody nose,
|
Got beat up on his way home from school, aga-in,
|
His dad caught him running out the back,
|
Tears in his eyes and a baseball bat, oo revenge,
|
|
(Bridge)
|
Said son I won't stop ya, but before you go,
|
Let me tell you a little story bout the toughest man I know,
|
|
(Chorus:)
|
You hit him and he just turns the other cheek,
|
Don't think for a minute he was weak,
|
Cause in the end he showed them,
|
He was any-thing but frail,
|
They hammered him to a cross,
|
But he was tougher than nails,
|
|
|
Well he droped that bat like it weighed a ton,
|
Father put his arms around his son and said, just let it go--oo,
|
Believe me I've been in your shoes,
|
Had to ask myself what would Jesus do, here's what I know,
|
|
(Bridge)
|
Whenever I'm in doubt, I look up what he said,
|
It's all there in the good book, in black and white and red,
|
|
(Chorus:)
|
Hit him and he just turns the other cheek,
|
Don't think for a minute he was weak,
|
Cause in the end he showed them,
|
He was any-thing but frail,
|
They hammered him to a cross,
|
But he was tougher than nails,
|
Yea in the end he showed them,
|
He was any-thing but frail,
|
They hammered him to a cross,
|
But he was tougher than nails,
|
Tougher than nails, oh, oh, oh,
|

Tougher Than Nails
