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 So he dropped back, he 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: After years of trying, her luck was turning ‘round She finally 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: He’d be too small, not breathe at all, probably live a couple days But just last week, she heard him speak, on that high school stage Graduation day 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: Written by Dave Tough & Justin Busch © 2011 Contact: Dave Tough * 5801 Tee Pee Trace * Cane Ridge, Tennessee 615.554.6693 www.davetough.com
