[Verse 1]
Took a shot to the chin
Looks like you just can't win
In this do or die situation
And it's harder than it seems
To survive, keep alive and make your dreams
Make your dreams all come true

[Chorus]
You've gotta, you gotta give it your best shot
Give it everything you got
Oh, you gotta hang tough, ow
Hang tough
Hang tough

[Verse 2]
Sometimes love can make you blue
A heartache made just for you
But you can't let it bring you down
If you should stumble, if you should fall
Pick yourself up off the floor
Fight for what's right, stand your ground, oh

[Chorus]
You've gotta give it your best shot
Give it everything you got
Oh, you gotta hang tough
Hang tough
When the goin' gets rough
Hang tough
You got to give it all you've got
(Hang tough) keep your head above the ground
Don't you let it get you down
Oh, you gotta hang tough
Hey, oh
Hey, oh
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You stay locked away inside your room
'Cause you don't know what this world is comin' to
Hummingbird hums 'cause he don't know the words
And the piper will play 'cause he don't know what to say
He's a lot like you, yeah
Oh, he's a lot like you, yeah
He tries hard every day to be free and fly away
Yeah

[Chorus]
Hang tough
Oh, when the goin' gets rough
Hang tough
You've got to give it all you got
(Hang tough) keep your head above the ground
Don't you let it get you down
Oh, you gotta hang tough

[Outro]
Hang tough
Oh, you got to give it all you got, you gotta
(Hang tough) hang tough
Don't you let it get you down
(Hang tough) no, oh, you gotta hang tough
Hang tough
Hang tough
