I'm tough as nails And strong as a shit smell I may be pale But sonny, I've burned in hell I beat my chest To let out a call of the wild My music may sound depressed Well, I'm anything but mild I'll beat you down in Ten seconds flat Mano a mano With a baseball bat Ain't no wussy folk singer here Don't mess with me Don't even try I'd like to make this very clear I'm really a very Tough guy Tough guy Tough guy I'm not like most folkies you'll find I think that that is evident 'Cause most folkies are much too kind And prone to useless sentiment Oh sure, they'll search for their soul But will they ever find their spine? If you turn a shoulder that's cold You can watch 'em break down cryin' There there My little one I'm pleased to say Your ass is done Ain't no wussy folk singer here Don't mess with me Don't even try I'd like to make this very clear I'm really a very Tough guy Tough guy Tough guy So what's it gonna be? You gonna step to me Or what? Or what? I thought so Women, they like my songs 'Cause they think I really care And I'm not gonna say they're wrong Especially if they've got blonde hair Now I'm not tryin' to be too slick It's not like this is all a ploy 'Cause you can't really score a chick Just by bein' a folk-singin' boy You gotta show her That you're a man Who gets things done As much as he can Ain't no wussy folk singer here Don't mess with me Don't even try I'd like to make this very clear I'm really a very Tough guy Tough guy Tough guy Tough guy Tough guy Tough guy
