TRACY LAWRENCE
"Strong"
(Jimbeau Hinson / Jon Michaels / Bob Regan / Jimmy Ritchey / Kim Tribble)

In her bare feet, a white cotton dress
A ribbon holdin' back her curls
In a sweet gentle voice, she sings a lullaby
To two sleepy little girls

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
In the nightlite glow as her babies drift off
She looks so fragile she looks so soft

[Chorus:]
She's strong, solid as a rock
Like a lighthouse standing alone
She's strong, got the world on her shoulders
She keeps carryin' on
She can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith, there's no quit in her
She's strong, yeah so strong

There's a crayon picture, says "we love you mom"
She keeps it in a frame on her desk
There's a friend of a friend who calls now and then
But she's not ready just yet

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
She might get lonely in the still of the night
But she'll hold out till she knows it's right

[Chorus:]
She's strong, solid as a rock
Like a lighthouse standing alone
She's strong, got the world on her shoulders
She keeps carryin' on
She can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith, there's no quit in her
She's strong

[Bridge:]
And sometimes when nobody else is around
She gets down
And sometimes in a moment of weakness
A single tear falls... and that's all
She's strong
She's strong

[Outro:]
Yeah she can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith, there's no quit in her
She's strong, yeah so strong
She's strong, yeah so strong
