Will:
Things are tough all over
And I'm losin' badly
I wish you were still here
And I say it sadly
But if you wanna come back
'Cause you need a shoulder
Things are tough all over
Things are tough all over
Will and Gunnar:
Guess I should count my blessings
For the life I still have
In a world of misfortune
That can happen so fast
Life size dominoes
One falls after another
Will:
Things are tough all over
Will and Gunnar:
Things are tough all over
Baby, if you needed me
I’d of heard by now
Well, I hope you’re not hurtin’
On the other side of town
Will:
‘Cause things are tough all over
Will and Gunnar:
Things are tough all over
Baby, if you needed me
I’d of heard by now
I hope you’re not hurtin’
On the other side of town
Will:
Things are tough all over
Will and Gunnar:
And I'm losin' badly
I wish you were still here
And I say it sadly
But if you wanna come back
'Cause you need a shoulder
Will:
Things are tough all over
Will and Gunnar:
Things are tough all over
Will:
Things are tough all over
Will and Gunnar:
Things are tough all over
