THE UNDERDOG

VERSE 1:
First string got hit in practice, he didn’t land quite right
Second string, couldn’t make the grades to play that Friday night
So the kid they said was way too small to even make the team
Was starting in the biggest game that school had ever seen

PRECHORUS:                                                                                                
His hands were cold, when the huddle broke, as he called that final play                                                                                                              
Then he dropped back, and threw that pass, that won that game
Number 48

CHORUS:                         
Sometimes the underdog comes though
Sometimes the long-shot beats the odds                                                                  
Sometimes it ain’t the dog in the fight, it’s the fight in the dog
Sometimes the one we counted out
Rises up in the moment of truth
Sometimes the underdog comes through

VERSE 2:
Her prayers were fin’ly answered, the tears came falling down
When she saw that beating heart right there on ultrasound 
But when she got sick the doctors said she didn’t have a choice
They’d have to operate, and she could lose her baby boy

PRECHORUS 2:
At just 4 pounds, 8 ounce, said he’d live a couple days
But that was the kid, we just saw win, that football game
Number 48

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
I could have heard them when they said my dreams were crazy
I could have heard them when told me to move on
But if I listened you would have never heard this song
REPEAT CHORUS:
