Excuse me uh, but do you actually have yes in your vocabulary,
|
|
I guess it started when I was a kid,
|
If you said I couldn't do it I did,
|
Always had a stuborn streak,
|
Put a wall in front of me,
|
And I'll find a way to get around it,
|
|
There was a friend who said I'd never make the team,
|
A lot of small town talk said I'd never leave,
|
Ah and you know who you are,
|
You all played a part,
|
In pushin me on to my dream,
|
|
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
|
Pack it up and get back home,
|
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
|
Yea I knew it all along,
|
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
|
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
|
|
Played my music for a man behind a desk,
|
He said sorry what you've got I just don't get,
|
Ah but here I am today,
|
Standin on this stage,
|
And I wonder even now if he gets it yet
|
|
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
|
Pack it up and get back home,
|
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
|
Yea I knew it all along,
|
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
|
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
|
|
The ones who said I'd never make it,
|
Those who doubted I could take it,
|
I'll owe ya one,
|
|
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
|
Pack it up and get back home,
|
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
|
Yea I knew it all along,
|
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
|
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
|
Yea I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
|
