Gary Allan - Tough Little Boys lyrics

Well, I never once backed down from a punch

Well, I'd take it square on the chin

But I found out fast that bullies just laugh

And we've got to stand up to them

So I didn't cry when I got a black eye

As bad as it hurt, I just grinned

But when tough little boys grow up to be dads

They turn into big babies again

Scared me to death when you took your first steps

Well, I'd fall every time you fell down

Your first day of school, I cried like a fool

And I followed your school bus to town

Well, I didn't cry, when Old Yeller died

At least not in front of my friends

But when tough little boys grow up to be dads

They turn into big babies again

Well, I'm a grown man, but as strong as I am

Sometimes it's hard to believe

How one little girl with little blonde curls

Could totally terrify me

If you were to ask, my wife would just laugh

She'd say "I know all about men

How tough little boys grow up to be dads

They turn into big babies again"

Well, I know one day, I'll give you away

But I'm gonna stand there and smile

But when I get home and I'm all alone

Well, I'll sit in your room for a while

Well, I didn't cry when Old Yeller died

At least not in front of my friends

But when tough little boys grow up to be dads

They turn into big babies again

When tough little boys grow up to be dads

They turn into big babies again
