Don’t Be Tough Letra - Jason Isbell

Don't be tough until you have to

Take your heartbreak on the chin

Don't forget the shit you went through

Throw your caution to the wind

Tighten up your belts and laces

Feel the pain and feel it pass

Don't be tough until you have to

Let love knock you on your ass

Don't be shitty to the waiter

He's had a harder day than you

Don't make babies stay up later

Just because they're so damn cute

Don't say love unless you mean it

But don't say sorry 'less you're wrong

Tell a story like you've seen it

Tell yourself that you belong

Don't be tough until you have to

Take your heartbreak on the chin

Don't forget the shit you went through

Throw your caution to the wind

Tighten up your belts and laces

Feel the pain and feel it pass

And don't be tough until you have to

Let love knock you on your ass

And if you get to feeling lonely

Read out loud if you can read

Take a nap if you get sleepy

If you're hungry, try to eat

And if you want it, go and get it

Don't just pray and wait around

Life will kill you if you let it

So when you're down, then say you're down

Don't be tough until you have to

Take your heartbreak on the chin

Don't forget the shit you went through

But throw your caution to the wind

Tighten up your belts and laces

Feel the pain and feel it pass

Don't be tough until you have to

Let love knock you on your ass

Don't be tough until you have to

And let love knock you on your ass
