I know what it’s like to be a fighter in the final round
So weak just one-two punch and I’m down
But you taught me to stand up and take it on the chin
This time by knock-out I’m gonna win
CHORUS
Shout it
Tell the world all about it
True – I wrote this song to prove to you
That I’ll never give up and I’ll never give in
Been stuck behind the sidelines
The game was called for rain
No matter how you look at it a strike out is always the same
But now I’m swinging the winning bat like a pro
I’m sick of warming up the bench
This time that ball is going over the fence
BRIDGE
Gentlemen start your engines
With the cheer of the crowd and a gunshot sound I’ll burn rubber
It’s a long way around that track but look who’s out in front of the pack
They’ll be waving that checkered flag for number one
Been down and out playing for no one
Felt my rhythm skip a beat
Seemed like every note that I hit was out of key
But now I’m headed for the big time
Center stage where I belong
When I get there you know I’ll sing this song
