Lyrics
Be Strong
Well you might find yourself in a feild of stone
with nothing' but a chip left on your shoulder and
word's you expressed' about how your head's
such a mess, well they alway's seem to come
out wrong, you just gotta' be strong,
just gotta' be strong
Well you might find yourself in a room full of anger
with nothing' but a tan line on your finger and
all you can think to do is just whistle a tune of what
used to be your favorite song, you just gotta' be strong,
you just gotta' be strong
(chorus)
It don't matter what your thinkin' or where that
thinkin' come's from, it ain't wrong to lick the
wrapper of the chewing' gum
don't stop chasin' the world by the tail cause it's
grown so long, you just gotta' be strong,
you just gotta' be strong
You might find yourself in another man's shoe's,
you may have caught yourself laughing at the six
o'clock new's, you may have lied to your friend's
because the truth would take to long,
you just gotta' be strong, you just gotta' be strong
You might find yourself high as high can be, you
might see yourself walking around the wood's
lookin' for a big oak tree, you may have just
tripped' over a concrete block, because your hair's
too long, you just gotta' be strong,
you just gotta' be strong
(chorus)
It don't matter what your thinkin' or where that
thinkin' come's from, it ain't wrong to lick the
wrapper of the chewing' gum
don't stop chasin' the world by the tail cause it's
grown so long, you just gotta' be strong,
you just gotta' be strong, you just gotta' be strong,
you just gotta' be strong
