Strong is the eighth studio album by American country music artist Tracy Lawrence. It was released on March 30, 2004 by DreamWorks Records. It produced three singles for him on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts: "Paint Me a Birmingham" (#4), "It's All How You Look at It" (#35) and "Sawdust on Her Halo" (#48). "Paint Me a Birmingham" was also recorded in 2003 by Ken Mellons on his album Sweet, from which it was released as a single shortly before Lawrence's rendition.
Strong is Lawrence's first album where he did not write or co-write any of the tracks.
