When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the ride is rough
You better keep rowing
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the tide is high
Keep your head above water
When it's truth or a lie
Do what you oughta
When the going gets tough
The tough get going

Well, there's a train called trouble
Coming down the track my way
Sometimes it seems like
Life is getting harder each day
When I've been carrying
The weight of the world
And I'm trying to get free
Well, I remember these words
That my Daddy said to me

Yeah, I was standing by the water
Wondering if I oughta get in
Last time around I go
All tangled up in sin
Saying no to temptation
Isn't always easy to do
But I feel a little stronger
Every time I make it through
That's why I'm saying to you
