I was sitting on a bench with my ankle tapped up |
|
Watching our team getting beat like a drum by a private school |
|
They were giving high fives and acting cool |
|
Tommy fouled out and the coach looked around |
|
Said, 22 it looks like it's down to you |
|
You're back in, do you think you can go again |
|
In the back of my mind I saw an old sign hanging up in the junior high gym |
|
Said, Never Give Up Cause Winners Never Quit And Quitters Never Win |
|
Sometimes you gotta suck it up |
|
And go bite down on the bullet |
|
Don't let nobody know |
|
Wrap it up, walk it off |
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt |
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt |
|
I called my folks and told em she was the one |
|
All they could say was, we're happy for you, son |
|
It's about time, you left your rowdy ways behind |
|
She figured out she was destined for some other place |
|
And a little bit more than me I guess |
|
I got the ring back, UPS |
|
For a while I thought I'd never smile like she made me smile again |
|
Now I realized you can't sit around and wait for your life to mend |
|
Sometimes you gotta suck it up |
|
And go bite down on the bullet |
|
Don't let nobody know |
|
Wrap it up, walk it off |
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt |
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt |
|
I know you're feeling all torn down |
|
Life's been tough and you've hit rock bottom |
|
Ain't no body gonna do it for you |
|
You gotta get up (gotta get up) |
|
Try again (try again) |
|
When the going gets tough you gotta jump back in |
|
Sometimes you gotta suck it up |
|
And go bite down on the bullet |
|
Don't let nobody know |
|
Wrap it up, walk it off |
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt |
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt |
|
Play hurt, play hurt |
|
Wrap it up, walk off |
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt |
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt |
