I wake up just to work hard every day
Nothin' free and nothin' easy ever comes my way
Hands are calloused, my body is bruised
I won't give up and I will not lose
Just when you count me out, that's when I'll come through...I'm
Chorus:
The Underdog
The one who's back stays against the wall
The Underdog
I'll still be standing when the favorite falls
So they say I'm not that strong
And the odds are way too long
Well, I was born to prove them wrong
I'm the underdog
My baby's the best lookin' thing to his this town
She believes in me even though her folks don't want me comin' 'round
They got bigger plans for her than me
I've got something inside they can't see
But someday I swear they will, cause I won't always be...Ohh
(Repeat Chorus)
I know every verse and every word of 1st Samuel 17
I love it when that big ol boy's brought down to his knees
And it sometimes seems that all my dreams are over nine feet tall
And I'm the little man with a rock in his hand
Just like David in overalls...I'm
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh, I'm the underdog
Don't you count me out
Yeah
