Tough As a Pine Knot
I'm tough as a pine knot, stubborn as a mule
And I don't do what I ought to do
But I know Someone who loves me like I am
So I roll my sleeves up, say a little prayer
And throw my hands up in the air
'Cuz ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make me new
Well I'm a joker
That's right, I laugh
To hide the pain inside
Sometimes I'm a giver
Just to photograph a lie
I'm a mover and a shaker
But sometimes I want to hide
But no matter how I fail
My God is always on my side
But I'm tough as a pine knot, stubborn as a mule
And I don't do what I ought to do
But I know Someone who loves me like I am
So I roll my sleeves up, say a little prayer
And throw my hands up in the air
'Cuz ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make me new
Sometimes on the outside
We can look and walk the part
But that don't matter
If you're poisoning your heart
And that old Bible
It just won't read itself
To know the Word of God
You've got to take it off that shelf
But I'm tough as a pine knot, stubborn as a mule
And I don't do what I ought to do
But I know Someone who loves me like I am
So I roll my sleeves up, say a little prayer
And throw my hands up in the air
'Cuz ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make me new
The battle's not mine, it is the Lord's
But sometimes He wants a little bit more
But I'm tough as a pine knot, stubborn as a mule
And I don't do what I ought to do
But I know Someone who loves me like I am
So I roll my sleeves up, say a little prayer
And throw my hands up in the air
'Cuz ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make-a me new
Ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make me new
And I don't do what I ought to do
But I know Someone who loves me like I am
So I roll my sleeves up, say a little prayer
And throw my hands up in the air
'Cuz ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make me new
Well I'm a joker
That's right, I laugh
To hide the pain inside
Sometimes I'm a giver
Just to photograph a lie
I'm a mover and a shaker
But sometimes I want to hide
But no matter how I fail
My God is always on my side
But I'm tough as a pine knot, stubborn as a mule
And I don't do what I ought to do
But I know Someone who loves me like I am
So I roll my sleeves up, say a little prayer
And throw my hands up in the air
'Cuz ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make me new
Sometimes on the outside
We can look and walk the part
But that don't matter
If you're poisoning your heart
And that old Bible

But I'm tough as a pine knot, stubborn as a mule
And I don't do what I ought to do

And throw my hands up in the air
'Cuz ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make-a me new
Ain't nobody got me like You do
You been working hard to make me new
