lyrics

am impervious
I have rough, calloused skin
I am still standing
I’ve seen and survived everything
…But a pretty girl still cuts me like the wind

She is a lighthouse
Telling me I’ve come home
She is a mountain mist
Causes the valley to glow
…And I feel her when the wind begins to blow

A pretty girl still cuts me like the wind
A pretty girl still cuts me like the wind

She is a mother to
Every child that she sees
I’m hoping someday
That she’ll make a father of me

I am a barricade
She has discovered a door
She is the sweetest song
Makes my heart starts to hurt
...And every day I feel I love her more

Every day I feel I love her more
Every day I feel I love her more
A pretty girl still cuts me like the wind
A pretty girl still cuts me like the wind
A pretty girl still cuts me like the wind
