I Fought My Way Through
I grew up with a chip on my shoulder
It got bigger and harder as I got older
My mother was too busy taking the hits
My father never seemed to give two shits
I got ignored and I fell through the cracks
No one cared about me no one had my back
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
My teachers called me a pain in the ass
They kept me locked away from the rest of the class
The schoolyards the streets the back-alley fights
I burned with an anger I couldn't make right
I went out on my own trying to find my way
I was livin' hand to mouth livin' day to day
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
The jobs would come but I just couldn't stick
They called me a loner they called me a dick
There wasn't a promise that I wouldn't break
There wasn't a dare that I wouldn't take
There was nothing I needed that I wouldn't steal
The devil himself wouldn't cut me a deal
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
My days turned dark as the night and I took to the drugs and the drink
My head was in the clouds and my face was in the sink
My life was on the brink
What you saw in me I won't ever get it
I shoved you away but you wouldn't forget it
You handled me hard and you handled me rough
You gave me your love and you gave it tough
You nursed my fever you healed my soul
You reached out your hand pulled me out of my hole
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
It's a long road back but I'm trying to stay on it
I fall off and fake it but you keep me honest
If there's a God above I just can't say
But I thank whoever sent you to my dying day
I fought my way through
I fought my way through to you
It got bigger and harder as I got older
My mother was too busy taking the hits
My father never seemed to give two shits
I got ignored and I fell through the cracks
No one cared about me no one had my back
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
My teachers called me a pain in the ass
They kept me locked away from the rest of the class
The schoolyards the streets the back-alley fights
I burned with an anger I couldn't make right
I went out on my own trying to find my way
I was livin' hand to mouth livin' day to day
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
The jobs would come but I just couldn't stick
They called me a loner they called me a dick
There wasn't a promise that I wouldn't break
There wasn't a dare that I wouldn't take
There was nothing I needed that I wouldn't steal
The devil himself wouldn't cut me a deal
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
My days turned dark as the night and I took to the drugs and the drink
My head was in the clouds and my face was in the sink
My life was on the brink
What you saw in me I won't ever get it
I shoved you away but you wouldn't forget it
You handled me hard and you handled me rough
You gave me your love and you gave it tough
You nursed my fever you healed my soul
You reached out your hand pulled me out of my hole
I fought my way through
I fought my way through
It's a long road back but I'm trying to stay on it
I fall off and fake it but you keep me honest
If there's a God above I just can't say
But I thank whoever sent you to my dying day
I fought my way through
I fought my way through to you
