"Longshot" lyrics

Everybody says south
But you go north
Everybody says stop
But you keep pushing forward
There's something in your soul
That makes you live this way
You're too hardheaded
To know when to stop
You should be down for the count
But you're not
You ain't heard no bell
You ain't heard no fat lady sing
You know what I mean

'Cause you're the longshot
The underdog
Give it all you can
You only get one chance
You're the longshot
Blood, sweat, and tears
4th and 10
Need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the longshot
Take it on the chin
At the back of the pack
But you just might win
You're the longshot
Yes you are
You're a winner

Oh, they can break your back
But they can't break your spirit
They do everything to stop you
But you stick right with it
You keep carrying on
'Cause you gotta look yourself in the eyes
You keep telling yourself
You'll be somebody they'll know
When they try to steer you down
You tell 'em where to go
They don't like the sound of those words
Rollin' off your tongue
'Cause you ain't done

You're the longshot
The underdog
Give it all you can
You only get one chance
You're the longshot
Blood, sweat, and tears
4th and 10
Need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the longshot
Take it on the chin at the back of the pack
Well, you just might win
You're the longshot
Yes you are
Oh, you're a winner

Oh, you're a winner

(Yeah)
Cause you're the longshot
The underdog
You give it all you can
You only get one chance
You're the longshot
Blood, sweat, and tears
4th and 10
Need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the longshot
Take it on the chin at the back of the pack
Well, you just might win
You're the longshot
You're a winner
Oh, you're a winner
