Thick Skin

Thanks to nights my dad went driving
While mom slept off the pills
And the demons in my sister
Made her say goodbye for real

And them months l slept inside my car
Somewhere in West LA
When my first love called to tell me
I'm the whore that got away

Well, guess what, babe?
I barely cut the grain

'Cause I got this thick skin, years in the making
I dare you to try me, babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking
I dare you try

Locked inside a rollercoaster
Been imprisoned by my fears
By some dude who hasn't had
A single hit in thirty years

Barely climbed out of a nightmare
I'm not ready for the grave
A lesser man would be so bitter
But it only made me brave

Well, now it's worth the price
You have me pay

'Cause I got this thick skin, years in the making
I dare you to try me, babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking
I dare you try

All I wanted is thick skin
I want this thick skin
All I wanted is thick skin
I want this thick skin

Because I got this thick skin, years in the making
I dare you to try me, babe, I can take it
Send in the big guns, I'll leave 'em shaking
I dare you try

All I wanted is thick skin
I want this thick skin
All I wanted is thick skin
I want this thick skin
