Verse 1:
I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees.
Ain't no doubt a-bout it, ba-by, it's you I aim to please.
I'd wrestle with a li-on and a griz-zly bear.
It's my life ba-by but, I don't care.
Chorus:
Ain't that tuff enough?
Ain't that tuff enough?
Ain't that tuff enough?
Ain't that tuff enough?
Verse 2:
For you, baby, I would, swim the sea.
Noth-in' I'd do for you that's too tough for me.
I'd put out a burnin' building with a shov-el and dirt,
And not e-ven wor-ry a-bout get-ting hurt.
(Repeat Chorus)
Guitar Solo 1:

I would work twenty four hours, seven days a week,
Just so I can come home and kiss your cheek.
I love you in the morn-in' and I'll love you at noon.
I love you in the night, take you, to the moon.
(Repeat Chorus)
I'd lay in a pile of burning money, that I've earn-ed.
And not even worry about, get-tin' burn-ed.
I'd climb the Empire State, ' fight Mu-hammad Ali.
Just to have you ba-by, close to me.

Notes:
1. * 'Live' version varies from studio recording with an extra-long Intro., (x5 vs X3) refrains.
** In 'Live on the River Boat Queen' version long-sustain on D chord (x24) to
the band and wind-up the band's performance.
2. If I get the opportunity, I'll add Jimmie Vaughan's Lead riffs to a future version.
