Jack Ingram - Never Knocked Me Down lyrics

You could've been a contender The next great white hope Not just another pretender Not just the next big joke You had to reach for the stars though Nobody gets it all Without playin' a game, son You're gonna take a fall You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You don't get nothin' for nothin' Ain't that what they all say We're all fightin' for somethin' But there's a price to pay Yeah, you can stand there forever Just take it blow by blow Nobody else is the wiser They just came for the show You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down But in the fists of a stranger There is a shadow of doubt Go on, pretend you're a winner Go on, sell yourself out You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down You've never knocked me down
