"Underdog" lyrics

Well I'd played the bars in Nashville
'Till there's smoke in neon light
Played my luck in Reno
Struck out every night
Played up in Austin on to San Francisco Bay
Yes them hard times they always seem to come my way
But every time I get knocked down and it seem I just can't win
I'm right back at the table betting my chips on red
Just a few more shots to gamble before my story is told
And if seven come eleven boys so let them shakers roll

Hard luck ain't slowed me and I don't think it ever will
I'm looking for the action, I'm living for the thrill
Yes I'm bound to hit that big time no matter what they say
You know every dirty old underdog has got to see the top someday

And I never got much notice from that record company man
He listens to my music but he just don't understand
Looking down upon me from his hotel suite so high
Lord he wouldn't know a round if it looked him in the eye
Says he can't do nothing for me so I thank him for his time
It's a country music club got me standing in line
But don't think for a moment you can put me on the shelf
I make my breaks on my own, buddy I don't need your help

Hard luck ain't slowed me and I don't think it ever will
I'm looking for the action, I'm living for the thrill
Yes I'm bound to hit that big time no matter what they say
You know every dirty old underdog has got to see the top someday

Hard luck ain't slowed me and I don't think it ever will
I'm looking for the action, I'm living for the thrill
Yes I'm bound to hit that big time no matter what they say
You know every dirty old underdog has got to see the top someday

You know every dirty old underdog has got to see the top someday
