Song | Quitters |
Artist | George Canyon |
Album | Somebody Wrote Love |
Nobody thinks about that stuff like how tall | |
He might have been or how fast he could’ve run | |
They just stare as he rolls by, all they see is a helpless kid | |
With no chance to live a life but | |
If they only knew | |
He’s got dreams of breaking ribbons in a hundred yard dash | |
Climbing up a snow capped mountain and planting his flag | |
He believes one day he’ll stand up and walk away from that chair | |
He’s got faith, he’s got hope and all his mamma’s prayers | |
He’s not jaded or bitter, gonna leave the giving up for the quitters | |
The doctors say no way he’ll walk, he just smiles | |
And says, “ | |
I’m gonna prove you wrong” | |
Lots of falls and failed attempts, his legs keep giving out | |
But his heart ain’t giving in ‘cause what they don’t know | |
He’s got dreams of breaking ribbons in a hundred yard dash | |
Pushing Earnhardt down the back stretch in a | |
Daytona draft | |
He believes one day he’ll stand up and walk away from that chair | |
He’s got faith, he’s got hope and all his mamma’s prayers | |
He’s not jaded or bitter, he’s gonna leave the giving up for the quitters | |
He pulls himself up on the bars | |
And takes a long deep breath | |
Lifts his right foot off the mat | |
And with all that he has left | |
He takes a step, one step | |
Toward his dream of breaking ribbons in a hundred yard dash | |
Going long for a touchdown with his buddies out back | |
He believes one day he’ll stand up and walk away from that chair | |
He’s got faith, he’s got hope and all his mamma’s prayers | |
He’s not jaded or bitter, he’s gonna leave the giving up for the quitters | |
He ain’t no quitter |
Nobody thinks about that stuff like how tall | |
He might have been or how fast he could' ve run | |
They just stare as he rolls by, all they see is a helpless kid | |
With no chance to live a life but | |
If they only knew | |
He' s got dreams of breaking ribbons in a hundred yard dash | |
Climbing up a snow capped mountain and planting his flag | |
He believes one day he' ll stand up and walk away from that chair | |
He' s got faith, he' s got hope and all his mamma' s prayers | |
He' s not jaded or bitter, gonna leave the giving up for the quitters | |
The doctors say no way he' ll walk, he just smiles | |
And says, " | |
I' m gonna prove you wrong" | |
Lots of falls and failed attempts, his legs keep giving out | |
But his heart ain' t giving in ' cause what they don' t know | |
He' s got dreams of breaking ribbons in a hundred yard dash | |
Pushing Earnhardt down the back stretch in a | |
Daytona draft | |
He believes one day he' ll stand up and walk away from that chair | |
He' s got faith, he' s got hope and all his mamma' s prayers | |
He' s not jaded or bitter, he' s gonna leave the giving up for the quitters | |
He pulls himself up on the bars | |
And takes a long deep breath | |
Lifts his right foot off the mat | |
And with all that he has left | |
He takes a step, one step | |
Toward his dream of breaking ribbons in a hundred yard dash | |
Going long for a touchdown with his buddies out back | |
He believes one day he' ll stand up and walk away from that chair | |
He' s got faith, he' s got hope and all his mamma' s prayers | |
He' s not jaded or bitter, he' s gonna leave the giving up for the quitters | |
He ain' t no quitter |
