Underdog

They said you ain't got a prayer
A chance in you nowhere
But I just didn't care
When I looked in your eyes

You were a long shot from the start
An easy way to break my heart
But as perfect as you are
You gotta risk it all sometimes

I believe in the underdog
Who chases dreams and breaks down walls
The shy kid who gets the prom queen
Whose never been the star of anything

And those two lovers kissed at city hall
They've got each other so they've got it all
Call me a dreamer or say I'm a little naive
Oh, but I believe in the underdog

We bought a 4-room fixer-up
On the side of town where times are tough
Short on cash, but a lot on love
Yeah, we sure showed it

Then you gave me our little man
So small he fit inside my hand
Two months early, two pounds
The tallest kid in third grade now

Yeah, I believe in the underdog
Who chases dreams and breaks down walls
The shy kid who gets the prom queen
Whose never been the star of anything

And those two lovers kissed at city hall
They've got each other so they've got it all
Call me a dreamer or say I'm a little naive
Oh, but I believe in the underdog

The banks still breathing down our necks
We're still living check to check
Girl, we dig deeper everyday
We still hit our knees and pray, we pray, we pray

Oh, I believe in the underdog
Who chases dreams and breaks down walls
Oh, how a guy like me could get the prom queen
I'd never been the star of anything

We were two lovers who kissed at city hall
Who still got each other so we've got it all
Call me a dreamer or say I'm a little naive
Yeah, you can call me a dreamer or say I'm a little naive

But I believe in the underdog
Oh in the underdog
I believe
Yeah, in the underdog

I believe
Oh in the underdog
