Bad Company - Boys Cry Tough

Bobby's 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
He's had enough of being pushed around

Bobby and the boys walk in
The heads start turning
They don't like no strangers in this place, no no
Everybody's acting tough
Words get spoken
And someone pulls a knife in Bobby's face, no!

He turns away but it's too late
He's gotta face them on his own
Left him there to meet his fate
Bobby's never going home

Boys cry tough
Boys fight dirty
Life gets rough
When you're living on a fine line

Mary's waiting home tonight
She's dreaming of church bells
Bobby says the day is getting near
Mary hears the doorbell ring
The blue lights are flashing
At 2 A.M. her dreams all disappear
Mary's world is turning upside down
She's been left here on her own
Her world is spinning 'round and 'round
Bobby's never coming home

Boys cry tough
Boys fight dirty
Life gets rough
Yeah, when you're living on a fine line

He said that soon their lives would be as one
Looks like you're gonna be the lonely one
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Solo)

Maybe in a year or two
She'll find someone of her own
Mary don't you wait around
Bobby's never coming home

Boys cry tough
Boys fight dirty
Life gets rough
When you're living on a fine line

Boys cry tough
Boys fight dirty
Life gets rough
When you're living on a fine line
