Lyrics

Might not be a doctor

Or some diplomat

No law degree, MBA

Or big title like that

But if I wanna

Reach the top

I like my chances

Gonna give it a shot

Don't tell me I can't

No, don't tell me I can't

I promise one day I'll find a way

Don't tell me I can't

Might not own a yacht

Live by the sea

No nanny, no butler

Nobody but me

But with two cups of coffee

And a whole lotta drive

I can do things better

Than any man alive

Don't tell me I can't

No, don't tell me I can't

It might take all day but I'll find a way

Don't tell me I can't

Someday I'll have it good

Even help the poor

A painter, poet

And a whole lot more

Might make a movie

Fly a plane

I can do

Damn near everything

Don't tell me I can't

No, don't tell me I can't

I promise one day I'll find a way

Don't tell me I can't

I promise one day I'll find a way

Don't tell me I can't
