가사
It’s a well-worn story told so often
Everybody knows it all around the world
Starts out in a small place on the edge of nowhere
A young boy with a big dream or maybe it’s a young girl
Either way they get the hard life born to poverty
A deck stacked against them as tough as it can be
But somewhere in the big dream the child can see a light
At the dark end of the tunnel pointing to a better life
You gotta pull yourself together
And learn to crawl before you walk
Pick yourself up by your bootstraps
Get on down and talk the talk
Be prepared to take the high road
Keep your two feet on the ground
That’s how you make it from the backcountry
To the top end of the town
If a boy then he’ll be handsome
Dark and stormy like James Dean
Or the girl is drop dead gorgeous
Like Elle MacPherson in her teens
And of course they will be gifted
Hard to know where to begin
She’ll have the voice of an angel
Or he can run like the wind
You gotta pull yourself together
Learn to think before you talk
Lift yourself up by your bootstraps
Knuckle down and walk the walk
Be prepared to take the high road
Keep your two feet on the ground
That’s how you make it from the backcountry
To the top end of the town
And the best part of the story
Is when the hero’s riding high
They find their way back home and marry
The one true love who stayed behind
Aah
You gotta pull yourself together
Learn to crawl before you walk
Pick yourself up by your bootstraps
Get on down and talk the talk
Don’t be afraid to take the high road
But keep your two feet on the ground
That’s how you make it from the backcountry
To the top end of the town
That’s how you make it from the backcountry
To the top end of the town
