Hardscrabble woman's got old bleeding tattoos
She likes to shoot her gun and she likes to drink booze
She's got a jack hammer likes bustin' up rocks
Hardscrabble woman from the school of hard knocks
Don't like the freeways 'cause she knows the back roads
Doesn't buy bullets likes to pack her own load
She can lay pipe in the hard texas dirt
Only wears jeans never see her in a skirt
Hardscrabble woman
Hardscrabble woman
Don't make her mad or you better watch your back
Hardscrabble woman lives down by the track
She's good with a saw and she's good with a wrench
Fixin' up her pick 'em up has always been a cinch
She's got a forty-five and a custom pool cue
Runs around town with a pretty rough crew
