Tough Row To Hoe Lyrics - Wynn Stewart

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 lot of mem'ries I've got a tough row to hoe 

Well look what I 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
