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
