Dug through the ashtray nUnder the cushions nShook all my blue jeans nSpent all day looking nFor enough change nTo get the rent paid nJust so I can hang nHere another week nI've been passed nOn shown the way out nWorn out these steel toes nKicking some doors down nnJust need that one chance nDon't tell me that I can't nI've gotta do it man nAin't got no plan be nnI don't wanna go home nAnd give into all these people nWho say I can't do it nI don't want to prove them all right nI'll take my licks and keep on nGetting up swinging nIs that all you got bring it nSo what I'm beat up and bruised nI didn't come here to lose nnGive me your heck no's nYou'll never make it nAll those cynical nBack handed praises nI'll turn them into something I can use nA little rocket fuel for my shooting star nnJust need that one chance nDon't tell me that I can't nI've gotta do it man nAin't got no plan be nnI don't wanna go home nAnd give into all these people nWho say I can't do it nI don't want to prove them all right nI'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging nIs that all you got bring it nSo what I'm beat up and bruised nI didn't come here to lose nnI don't wanna go home nAnd give into all these people nWho say I can't do it nI don't want to prove them all right nI'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging nIs that all you got bring it nSo what I'm beat up and I'm bruised nI didn't come here to lose nnI don't wanna go home nAnd give into all these people nWho say I can't do it nI don't want to prove them all right nI'll take my licks and keep on getting up swinging nIs that all you got bring it nSo what I'm beat up and bruised nI didn't come here to lose
