Strong Enough to Bend - Tanya Tucker
Written by:Beth Nielsen Chapman/Don Schlitz
There's a tree out in the back yard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason it's still standin'
It was strong enough to bend
For years we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
When you say somethin' that you can't take back
A big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say "Hey well I might be wrong"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Like a tree
Like a tree
Out in the back yard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love
Our love
Will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
Yeah
When you start thinkin' that you know it all
A big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say "Hey this job takes two"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Like the tree
Like the tree
Out in the back yard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love
Our love
Will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
Our love
Our love
Will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
