Rough Hands

Verse 1

Woke up to the kookaburra laugh

Sunburn on my neck again

Boots by the door caked in red dirt

Sweat and work and weathered skin

My hands are rough but they still hold on

Pre-Chorus

Tough days they try to knock me down

Hard roads they try to wear me out

Chorus

Oh the hands are rough

And life is tough

But I won't give up

No I won't give up

Gonna stand up tall

Gonna give it all

Yeah the hands are rough

But I won't give up

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

I won't give up

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

I won't give up

Verse 2

I want to be the one who stays

When the whole town walks away

Rusty ute and a broken gate

But I'm still swinging every day

Calloused palms and a stubborn heart

Pre-Chorus

Tough days they try to knock me down

Hard roads they try to wear me out

Chorus

Oh the hands are rough

And life is tough

But I won't give up

No I won't give up

Gonna stand up tall

Gonna give it all

Yeah the hands are rough

But I won't give up

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

I won't give up

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

I won't give up

Bridge

I want to be the light

I want to be the fight

I want to be the reason somebody tries

Chorus

Oh the hands are rough

And life is tough

But I won't give up

No I won't give up

Gonna stand up tall

Gonna give it all

Yeah the hands are rough

But I won't give up

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

I won't give up

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

I won't give up
