He was blue collar born on the wrong side of town

Only one way in and you’re never getting out

His daddy always said he would amount to nothing

When he turned 18 he hit the highway runnin

After ten years of bars and tip jars

Everybody back home said they always knew he’d be a star

If your giving up just ain’t got any quit

If your get knocked down gets right back up again Than let

Than let em keep sayin you’re never gonna make it

You might as well just give up

 Yeah, it's never gonna work, never, never gonna work Never gonna work till it does, and then it does

 She was a different kind of pretty in them bell-bottom jeans He was in at first sight, she was out of his league

 All he could see was her and him together He didn't really care if it took forever

But she shot him down at least a dozen times

Till he finally stole her heart and a kiss one night

If youre giving up just ain’t got any quit

If your get knocked down gets right back up again

Than let em keep sayin you’re never gonna make it

You might as well just give up

 Yeah, it's never gonna work, never, never gonna work Never gonna work till it does, and then it does

 Well it's never gonna work, never, never gonna work Never, never

If your givin up just ain’t got any quit

If your get knocked down gets right back up again Than let

Than let em keep sayin your never gonna make it

You might as well just give up

 Well it's never gonna work, never, never gonna work Never gonna work till it does

 Yeah it’s never gonna work, never, never gonna work

Never gonna work till it does

And than it does
