Lyrics

I wake up just to work hard everyday
Nothing free and nothing easy ever comes my way
My hands are calloused, my body's 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 who's back stays against the wall
The underdog
I'll still be standing 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 looking thing to hit this town
She believes in me even though her folks don't want me coming 'round
They've got bigger plans for her than me
I've got something inside they can't see
But someday I swear they will
'Cause I won't always be
Oh, the underdog
The one who's back stays against the wall
The underdog
I'll still be standing 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 1 Samuel 17
I love it when that big old boy's brought 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 who's back stays against the wall
The underdog
I'll still be standing when the favorite falls
So they say I'm not that strong
And the odds are way too long
But I was born to prove them wrong
I'm the underdog
Oh, I'm the underdog
Don't you count me out
