The Ones Who Got Me Here

The ones that I drank all those beers with

Made it through those high school years with

All those girls I loved who broke my heart

All those back roads I drove 'round on

That church pew that I got found on

That college town where I first got my start

All the haters, all the lovers

All the friends that are more like brothers

All the people I ain't seen in too many years

All the faces in the bleachers

The never-gave-up-on-me teachers

Yeah, this one's for the ones who got me here

The ones that said I'd never make it

The ones that said there's your chance, go take it

Took all of you for me to get this far

Jobs along the way that paid me

People who dug deep to raise me

Made me who I am, you know who you are

All the haters, all the lovers

All the friends that are more like brothers

All the people I ain't seen in too many years

All the faces in the bleachers

The never-gave-up-on-me preachers

Yeah, this one's for the ones who got me here

The ones still around, the ones that are gone

My biggest fan, mama back home

All the truth and all the dares

All the long shot late-night prayers

All the haters, all the lovers

My dad and my two brothers

All the people I ain't seen in too many years

And I thank God that I met you

Hope you know I won't forget you

This one's for the ones that got me here

Yeah, this one's for the ones who got me here

Yeah
