Everybody says south, but you go north
Everybody says stop, but you keep pushing forward
There's something in your soul that makes you live this way
You're too hard-headed to know when to stop
You should be down for the count, but you're not
And you ain't heard no bell
You ain't heard no ballad to sing
You know what I mean
'Cause you're the long shot, the underdog
Give it all you can, you only get one chance
You're the long shot, blood, sweat, and tears
For the ten, need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the long shot, take it on the chin
At the back of the pack, but you just might win
You're the long shot
Yes you are
You're a winner
Oh, they can break your back, but they can't break your spirit
They do everything to stop you, but you stick right with
You keep carrying on
'Cause you gotta look yourself in the eyes
You keep telling yourself you'll be somebody they'll know
When they try to stare you down, you tell 'em where to go
They don't like the sound of those words
Rolling off your tongue 'cause you ain't done
You're the long shot, the underdog
Give it all you can, you only get one chance
You're the long shot, blood, sweat, and tears
For the ten, need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the long shot, take it on the chin
At the back of the pack, but you just might win
You're the long shot
Yes you are
You're a winner
Oh, you're a winner
Mm, hmm
Hmm, mmm
Yeah
'Cause you're the long shot, the underdog
You give it all you can, you only get one chance
You're the long shot, blood, sweat, and tears
For the ten, need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the long shot, take it on the chin
At the back of the pack, but you just might win
You're the long shot
You're a winner (oh, oh-oh)
Oh, you're a winner (oh, oh-oh)
