The Underdog (Album Version)

(Steve Azar/Rafe Van Hoy)

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

The underdog

The one whose back stays against the wall

The underdog

I'll still be standin' 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 hit 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 somethin' inside they can't see

But someday

I swear they will, 'cause

I won't Always be ohh

The underdog

The one whose back stays against the wall

The underdog

I'll still be standin' 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

I know every verse and every word of 1st

Samuel 17

I love it when that big ol' boy's bought 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 The underdog

The one whose back stays against the wall

The underdog

I'll still be standin' 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

Oh, I'm the underdog

Don't you count me out

Yeah
