Longshot

by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lyrics
Everybody says south But you go north
Everybody says stop But you keep pushing forward
There's something in your soul That makes you live this way
You're too hardheaded To know when to stop
You should be down for the count But you're not
You ain't heard no bell You ain't heard no fat lady sing
You know what I mean
'Cause you're the longshot The underdog
Give it all you can You only get one chance
You're the longshot Blood, sweat, and tears
4th and 10 Need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the longshot Take it on the chin
At the back of the pack But you just might win
You're the longshot Yes you are
You're a winner
Oh, they can break your back
But they can't break your spirit
They do everything to stop you
But you stick right with it
You keep carrying on
'Cause you gotta look yourself in the eyes
You keep telling yourself
You'll be somebody they'll know
When they try to steer you down
You tell 'em where to go
They don't like the sound of those words
Rollin' off your tongue
'Cause you ain't done
You're the longshot The underdog
Give it all you can You only get one chance
You're the longshot Blood, sweat, and tears
4th and 10 Need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the longshot Take it on the chin
At the back of the pack Well, you just might win
You're the longshot Yes you are
Oh, you're a winner
Oh, you're a winner (Yeah)
'Cause you're the longshot The underdog
You give it all you can You only get one chance
You're the longshot Blood, sweat, and tears
4th and 10 Need to throw a Hail Mary again
You're the longshot Take it on the chin
At the back of the pack Well, you just might win
You're the longshot
You're a winner
Oh, you're a winner
