i didn't come here to lose

dug through the ashtray

under the cushions

shook all my blue jeans

spent all day looking

for enough change

to get the rent paid

just so i can hang

here another week

i've been passed

on shown the way out

worn out these steel toes

kicking some doors down

just need that one chance

don't tell me that i can't

i've gotta do it man

ain't got no plan b

i don't wanna go home

and give into all these people

who say i can't do it

i don't want to prove them all right

i'll take my licks and keep on

getting up swinging

is that all you got bring it

so what i'm beat up and bruised

i didn't come here to lose

give me your heck no's

you'll never make it

all those cynical

back handed praises

i'll turn them into something i can use

a little rocket fuel for my shooting star

just need that one chance

don't tell me that i can't

i've gotta do it man

an't got no plan b

i don't wanna go home

and give into all these people

who say i can't do it

i don't want to prove them all right

i'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging

is that all you got bring it

so what i'm beat up and bruised

i didn't come here to lose

i don't wanna go home

and give into all these people

who say i can't do it

i don't want to prove them all right

i'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging

is that all you got bring it

so what i'm beat up and i'm bruised

i didn't come here to lose

i don't wanna go home

and give into all these people

who say i can't do it

i don't want to prove them all right

i'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging

is that all you got bring it

so what i'm beat up and bruised

i didn't come here to lose
