The Strong One

Clint Black


When God made woman I wonder sometimes
If it was a flower he had in mind when he made her
A touch as gentle as a butterfly
A kiss so sweet it could stop time forever

God gave man a chance to be
The kind of strength a woman needs
He was supposed to be the one to carry that load

But there she goes, baby in her arms
World on her shoulders when her day starts
Working a job that don't pay much
But she thanks God it's enough

And there she is on her own two feet
He walked out but she's still got dreams
Tries to laugh when she feels like crying
Nobody'd blame her if she stopped trying

But she's got a heart that gives and gives
So you tell me who the strong one is

Tonight's the first night in a while
She put on her makeup wearing a smile, she's going out
And everything was all planned out
But the fever that the baby's got now, it's all shot down

She gives up what she wants to do
For what she has to, that's what a momma does
She'll be there like she always is
When the sun comes up

And there she goes, baby in her arms
World on her shoulders when her day starts
Working a job that don't pay much
But she thanks God it's enough

There she is on her own two feet
He walked out but she's still got dreams
Tries to laugh when she feels like crying
Nobody'd blame her if she stopped trying

But she's got a heart that gives and gives
So you tell me who the strong one is

And there she is on her own two feet
He walked out but she's still got dreams
Tries to laugh when she feels like crying
Nobody'd blame her if she stopped trying

But she got a heart that gives and gives
So you tell me who the strong one is
Yeah, you tell me who the strong one is
