Dug through the ashtray 

Under the cushions 

Shook all my blue jeans 

Spent all day looking 

For enough change 

to get the rent paid 

Just so I can hang 

here another week 

I've been passed 

on shown the way out 

Worn out these steel toes 

kicking some doors down 



Just need that one chance 

Don't tell me that I can't 

I've gotta do it man 

Ain't got no plan b 



I don't wanna go home 

and give into all these people 

who say I can't do it 

I don't want to prove them all right 

I'll take my licks and keep on 

getting up swinging 

Is that all you got bring it 

So what I'm beat up and bruised 

I didn't come here to lose 



Give me your heck no's 

you'll never make it 

All those cynical 

back handed praises 

I'll turn them into something I can use 

A little rocket fuel for my shooting star 



Just need that one chance 

Don't tell me that I can't 

I've gotta do it man 

An't got no plan b 



I don't wanna go home 

and give into all these people 

who say I can't do it 

I don't want to prove them all right 

I'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging 

Is that all you got bring it 

So what I'm beat up and bruised 

I didn't come here to lose 



I don't wanna go home 

and give into all these people 

who say I can't do it 

I don't want to prove them all right 

I'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging 

Is that all you got bring it 

So what I'm beat up and I'm bruised 

I didn't come here to lose 



I don't wanna go home 

and give into all these people 

who say I can't do it
