Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Tougher Than the Rest

Well it’s saturday night

You’re all dressed up and blue

I’ve been watchin’ you go out

Maybe you been watchin’ me too

So somebody ran out

Left somebody’s heart in a mess

Well if you’re lookin’ for love

Honey I’m tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome dan

Or some good-lookin’ joe

On their arms some girls want

A sweet talkin’ romeo

We’ll ’round here baby

I’ve learned you get what you can get

So if you’re rough enough for love

Honey, I’m tougher than the rest

Yeah, the road is dark

And it’s a thin, thin line

But I want you to know

I’ll walk it for you anytime

Maybe your other girlfriends

Couldn’t pass the test

Well if you’re rough and ready for love

Honey I’m tougher than the rest

Well it ain’t no secret

I’ve been around a time or two

Well, I don’t know, baby

Maybe you’ve been around too

But there’s another dance, baby

All you got to do is say yes

And if you’re rough and ready for love

Honey I’m tougher than the rest
