I wake up just to work hard every day
Nothin` free and nothin` easy ever comes my way
Hands are calloused, my body is 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 whose back stays against the wall
The underdog
I`ll still be standin` 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 lookin` thing to hit this town
She believes in me even though her folks don`t
Want me comin` `round
They got bigger plans for her than me
I`ve got somethin` inside they can`t see
But someday I swear they will, `cause I won`t
Always be ohh
The underdog
The one whose back stays against the wall
The underdog
I`ll still be standin` 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 1st Samuel 17
I love it when that big ol` boy`s bought 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 whose back stays against the wall
The underdog
I`ll still be standin` 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
Oh, I`m the underdog
Don`t you count me out
Yeah
