about

Overcoming tough times - just be strong.

lyrics

I was just a small boy when she left home
Riding in the back seat was all that I'd know
The day she left us dad sat me down
Said there ain't much to it, "boy just be strong"

Met her in a small bar outside Tuscon
Our love was so strong, The best that I'd known
But late nights in a red dress, note by the phone
Her parting caress, "lover be strong"

Why don't you come back?, Why don't you call?
If you don't come back, Where will you go?
And if you came back, where would you call home?
What is it we lack? How could we know?

My daughter smiled sweet and looked up to me
we had together all that we'd need
But her heart was aching, only to be free
and the spirit drew her, far away from me

Why don't you come back?, Why don't you call?
If you don't come back, Where will you go?
And if you came back, where would you call home?
What is it we lack? How could we know?

My father called me, said "boy come home"
My body's aching, it won't be too long
I listened, He sang, his final song
Once more to teach me, how to be strong

Why don't you come back?, Why don't you call?
If you don't come back, Where will you go?
Worried my whole life, that I did wrong
When all I needed, was to be strong,

was to be strong,
oh to be strong,
just to be strong
