Chad Douglas - Good Lord's Got The Rein (When The Goin' Gets Tough) Lyrics

He never chewed tobacco, he never drank his shine
He made a many gallon from a copper still at night
His daddy taught my daddy, and my daddy taught his own
He had the best intention, never meant anybody wrong

Well he died in 67, when he met that old oak tree
Left my mom a baby, and three young mouths to feed
We never had much money, but we worked hard every day
Every now and then, I can hear that old man say

When the going gets tough, the tough ones keep on going
Times get hard, ain't no need to complain
It's long open road, when you
Can't see where you're going

But it's all right, 'Cause the good Lord's got the rein
Amen
I've lost some real good buddies
And I've seen the devil's face

And I would not be here today without the good Lord's grace
I've seen trial and tribulation
I've lived a life of sin
I sure hope the good Lord lets me in

'Cause I've admitted where I've wronged
I've changed my wicked ways
Lord, I'd love to hear your sweet voice say
When the going gets tough, the tough ones keep on going

Times get hard, ain't no need to complain
It's a long row to hoe, when you're feeling all alone
But It's all right, 'Cause the good Lord's got the rein
When the going gets tough, the tough ones keep on going

Times get hard, ain't no need to complain
It's a long open road, when you can't see where you're going
But it's all right, 'Cause the good Lord's got the rein

Just hold on tight, 'Cause the good Lord's got the rein
