Craig Morgan, “Tough”
This is one of the most beautiful tributes to a wife and mother that I have ever heard. Every line sounds like real life. There are no forced story lines here, no transparent attempts at sentimentality. Every word feels true to me.
The verse about the wife getting cancer but still being the strong one, as the husband breaks down and cries? Heartbreakingly candid. Maybe it’s a result of being raised in an extended family full of strong matriarchs, but I can never quite buy into the female archetypes in recent songs like “She’s Everything” or “Daisy”. The women in my family are tough. Morgan might as well be singing about any one of them.

This song is amazing. I cry everytime I hear it. He was in my hometown the other night and to see him perform that song is incredible. You can tell he means it from the heart, and it takes alot for a man to say a woman is stronget than he is. I love this song so much!
This is a great song i cry when i listen to it my aunnt has cancer and has now for to years and this song describes her. My aunt is my role model i ook up to her because she has been through alot with chemo and all the doctor vists and all the medication they have had her on but she still continues to fight it and she tells us all that she wont givein to the cancer and she continues to fight and i look up too her for that. another person that i look up too for being stong and not leting the cancer take her down is my mama dhe had cancer and foght it too i love both of them alot!
This song is about my wife’s mom. She was a wounderful woman and I have heard so much about her from family and friends. This is a wounderful song. I know my wife will love this song.
I like the song. It is a little boring but enjoy it. I like most parts of the song and Craig delivers it good.
I give it a B
*Sniff* *Sniff* It makes me cry.
I know this lady who has cancer it is so sad. She is really strong i really love her.Iam so glad that craig sung this song.
At first I thought the tune of this song was a little dull. But the lyrics were some of my favorites. They are simple, but effective. But one day while listening to this song really loud, the pure emotion of this song really got to me. Ever since, I’ve cried almost every time I’ve heard this song. It is amazing.
Grade A+
I Love this song. My mom has cancer and she is being really strong and says she wont give in. the doctors gave her 6-12 months to live and she has made it now a year and a half. I cry every time i hear this song because it reminds me of my mom.
