I eventually found this myself by trying some variations on the one line I remembered - turns out it's "The Kids Were Tough As Nails" by Freddy K. And The Breeze
, who were evidently a local (Massachusetts) band.
I heard this song on the radio once - it was in the early 90s but sounded a bit older than that to me. Loud electric blues rock with a raspy singer - I thought it was AC/DC, but if it was it's a pretty obscure song and not one of their big hits. Part of the chorus was "those boys were tough as nails" and that's the only lyric that I remember
