Quitters
nobody thinks about that stuff
how tall he mite of bin
or how fast he coulda run
they just stare as he rolls by
all they see is a helpless kid
with no chance to live a life
but if they only new
hes got a dreams of breakin ribbons
in a hundred yard dash
climbing up a snow capped mountain
plantin his flag
he believes one day he'll stand up
walk away from that chair
he got faith he got hope
and all his mammas prayers
hes not jaded, bitter,
gonna leave the given up for the quitters
doctors say no way he'll walk
he just smiles and says
im gonna prove you wrong
lots of falls
and failed attempts
hes legs keep givin out
bust his heart aint givin in
cuz what they dont know
hes got a dreams of breakin ribbons
in a hundred yard dash
pushin Earnhardt down the back stretch
in a daytona draft
he believes one day
he'll stand up
walk away from that chair
he got faith he got hope
and all his mammas prayers
hes not jaded, bitter,
gonna leave the given up for the quitters
pulls himself up on the bars
takes a long deep breath
lifts his right foot
off the mat
with all that hes has left
he takes a step, one step
towards that dream of breakin ribbons
in a hundred yard dash
goin long for a touchdown
with his buddies out back
hes believes one day he'll stand up
walk from that chair
he got faith he got hope
and all his mammas prayers
hes not jaded, bitter,
gonna leave the given up for the quitters
for the quitters
aint no quitter
how tall he mite of bin
or how fast he coulda run
they just stare as he rolls by
all they see is a helpless kid
with no chance to live a life
but if they only new
hes got a dreams of breakin ribbons
in a hundred yard dash
climbing up a snow capped mountain
plantin his flag
he believes one day he'll stand up
walk away from that chair
he got faith he got hope
and all his mammas prayers
hes not jaded, bitter,
gonna leave the given up for the quitters
doctors say no way he'll walk
he just smiles and says
im gonna prove you wrong
lots of falls
and failed attempts
hes legs keep givin out
bust his heart aint givin in
cuz what they dont know
hes got a dreams of breakin ribbons
in a hundred yard dash
pushin Earnhardt down the back stretch
in a daytona draft
he believes one day
he'll stand up
walk away from that chair
he got faith he got hope
and all his mammas prayers
hes not jaded, bitter,
gonna leave the given up for the quitters
pulls himself up on the bars
takes a long deep breath
lifts his right foot
off the mat
with all that hes has left
he takes a step, one step
towards that dream of breakin ribbons
in a hundred yard dash
goin long for a touchdown
with his buddies out back
hes believes one day he'll stand up
walk from that chair
he got faith he got hope
and all his mammas prayers
hes not jaded, bitter,
gonna leave the given up for the quitters
for the quitters
aint no quitter
