Ridin' into town on the back of a truck fresh out of money fresh out of luck
The one that I love just walked out a day ago
I've got a lotta mem'ries I've got a tough row to hoe
Well look what high could come in the night and the day
I lost my happy home I just had to get away
I'm gonna keep on running till this hurt no longer shows
My future don't look sunny I've got a tough row to hoe
And off in the distance there's a mountain so high
And it's gonna get cold and lonely when the snow starts to fly
And she'll be in his arms while this lonely feeling grows
Oh I've got to forget her I've got a tough row to hoe
[ steel ]
Yes off in the distance
Yes I've got to forget her I've got a tough row to hoe
