This song is everything our relationship is. 18 years together, 12 married. We’re still going strong after illness, injury, losses, financial hardship. Nothing can tear us down 💪🏻

😭😭WOW! This is such a beautiful song & one I truly do understand & believe in.😭😭 I know I have had & still have a hard road to go through AGAIN. My husband to this day has wondered how am I still alive & have a great big smile on my face KNOWING that I'm struggling everyday & going to bed not knowing if I will ever wake up with a smile on my face, that he loves so much, the next day. This is my 3rd time of trying to beat cancer but it has spread. By the Grace & Blessing of the almighty God he will get me through these ones once again if not then may my father take me home. Thank you Mr. Cooper Alan for this song.

I want ya to know my wife of 10 years has been battling stage 4 cancer for almost 3 years and to just hold her and listen to this song i tell ya brother its been truly a blessing. Tough Ones is platinum material in my book thanks Coop. ROLLTIDE!

Beautifully written and sung. Real country star on the rise.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in awhile. My husband had a heart attack and two strokes on November 2nd and is doing better than anyone ever expected him too. Love and God is the only reason that we are where we are now. This song holds more meaning than any other for us.

Right now my dad is fighting stage 4 lung cancer and is beating it because theres still fight left in him and he is a Vietnam Veteran not everyone gets to meet there heroes but I was raised by mine

My parents were married 67 years, before dad passed last September 2020 he said “They had Fun”, what a tribute. Dad was a Korean War veteran with cold foot syndrome aka: frostbite , which cause terrible neuropathy (which so many of our Veterans of all wars suffer from). Diagnosed with Parkinson’s 17 years ago. Talk about tough ones. Thank you Lord for Blessing me with such great examples.

Why in the hell on earth is tonight the very first time I'm hearing of Cooper Alan and this amazing song made for all the tough ones? In a world gone to shit when hear something with such deep meaning and beauty it gives you hope. Keeping being tough all you tough ones.

Alan Cooper, I have followed your music for the last several years in your journey. You truly deserve all of the good things that are happening in your career right now. Thank you for the fantastic music that many of us can relate to. God bless you and your family.

Just celebrated our 50th anniversary. We are the strong ones! All the hard times just made us stronger. Loved this!!

Someone, some record label come on give this guy a chance!!!

Cooper, I'm a classically trained vocal musician/voice teacher now retired - so my primary choice of genre hasn't been Country. But in the last week - you've hooked me to you. You've helped open emotional doors hitherto locked up for a long time. You are one talented person. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Beautiful , oh my I 😢. As a widow n single mum for past 14 years, I thank God I am still standing strong. Beautiful song .

How in the Hell can you give this a thumbs down? Awesome song, & amazing video. Keep it up Cooper

I have listening to this song from the beginning. My husband and I been together for 37 years and we feel like the strong ones. I cried when watching the video! Congrats!

Me and my fiancée will be dancing to this song. It’s not our first dance but this song does mean a lot to us. We have been through a lot together. She helped me when my brother took his life and I helped her when her grandmother died. No matter what we will help eachother through whatever life has for us. Thanks for this meaningful song Cooper.

Great great song I lost a cousin due to cancer and this song makes me realize it can be worse. She fought for 3.5 years

Cooper Alan, beautifully said. I married a tough one also. My wife has buried her parent, two brothers, and a brother in law, all with in the last year and a half. We spent our first Christmas apart since 1975. She went out to be with her sister. Great song, it really touched my heart.

I love this song, it made me cry watching all the videos. It really is an amazing song and deserves to be played more all over the USA and UK .

Such lucky people. Bless you all to have many more.

Absolutely Beautiful!!! You are a TRUE Talent Cooper. Keep it coming.

🙏🏼for this song💯24 yrs together w/my man and father of our 2 grown men-my only regret is not meeting him sooner😉He’s my first, only, and last love🥰of my life..he’s definitely a tough one.🦾💞

So Inspiring! Great video, Awesome lyrics, Wonderful voice, Timeless message! Thank you Cooper!!! ❤❤❤

This is the first song to ever make me cry. Thank you for writing this.

This is me and my husband .Married 36 years.He has been my rock.We had our ups and downs No fairy tale ,but we over came them all ,by Gods Grace..

This has me all up in my feels. 2 weeks after we were married, we lost everything to Hurricane Harvey. We lived in a tiny, 1 room hotel room for 7 months while our home was rebuilt. 1 week after Harvey I had a freak accident injuring my ankle and couldn't walk for 10 months. September 27 of 2018 I was diagnosed within stage 4 Colon cancer. It's the gift that no one wants to receive. June 23rd of 2020, my 20 yr old son died, only 9 days after his 20th birthday. He was my only child and I found him. Needless to say, I crumbled. I still fight to find happiness everyday. However, because of my husband who has stood by me through it all and my faith in our Father, I make a little progress everyday. Thank you for his song. It speaks to me. Sorry for such a long comment.

I want more songs. I want and entire album. I want live appearances. LOL! In other words, I find his music terrific! Great work!

This man deserves 10 million subscribers on UKposts 🔥❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This really hit me. In 2015 I got to marry my elementary school crush. We met in 5th grade back in 1992. We dated in high school and being young things just didn't work out. I moved and we both got married. We have had a relationship full of so many ups and downs with medical problems with both of us. I would have never made it without her!

This song means so much to me and my family ❣️❣️ You’d be surprised to hear the story of how my husband and I met, How we were separated for 3 yrs in high school due to our families being stationed in other countries. How we ended up marrying and 3 yrs later I became a paraplegic due to MS. Long story I couldn’t get pregnant then GOD had different plans and we we were blessed with the birth of our one and only child-daughter who grew up to be in the one hell of a woman She can tear apart and rebuild a vehicle engine, is a wonderful cook, became a step mom and her son LOVES her. Shes a huge animal lover (just like her parents, loves GOD AND the Holy Trinity. I could go on about her but the point is…… your song is the perfect description of my family Thank you Cooper❣️❣️❣️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

My wife is going through stage 4 cancer and this is our theme song every day you are truly an inspiration

I absolutely love this song

I'm not much into country music and not religious, but this song transends genres and belief systems.

As good as it gets. This dude has game!

I just cried so hard watching this! I was waiting for this video. Been following his TikTok to see when it would be released

I love this song a lot. I’m trying to get the words down so I can sing it to my wife. We both love this song so much. Keep up the good work!

What a top song!! And a great music video 👍

This video is as amazing as this song! You sir have talent pouring out of you like water! I’m so excited to hear what’s next!
