Boys Cry Tough Lyrics
Bad Company
(howe/thomas)
Bobbys going out tonight, looking for trouble
Everybody likes to fight sometimes
Heading south on 41, straight for the action
Meeting the boys at the county line
He kicks it into overdrive, really puts that pedal down
Feels so good to be alive, hes had enough of being pushed around
Bobby and the boys walk in, the heads start turning
They dont like no strangers in this place, no no
Everybodys acting tough, words get spoken
And someone pulls a knife in bobbys face
He turns away but its too late, hes gotta face them on his own
Left him there to meet his fate, bobbys never going home
Chorus:
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when youre living on a fine line
Marys waiting home tonight, shes dreaming of church bells
Bobby says the day is getting near
Mary hears the doorbell ring, the blue lights are flashing
At 2 am her dreams all disappear
Marys world is turning upside down, shes been left here on her own
Her world is spinning round and round, bobbys never coming home
Chorus:
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when youre living on a fine line
He said that soon their lives would be as one
Looks like youre gonna be the lonely one
(solo)
Maybe in a year or two, shell find someone of her own
Mary dont you wait around, bobbys never coming home
Chorus repeats 2x
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when youre living on a fine line
