I Wanna Thank Everyone

Excuse me, uh, just try understand

But do you actually have the word yes in your vocabulary

I guess it started when I was a kid

If you said I couldn't do, I did

Always had a stubborn streak, put a wall in front of me

And I'll find a way to get around it

There was a friend who said I'd never make the team

A lot of small town talk that said I'd never leave

Ah, and you know who you are, you all played a part

In pushin' me on to my dream

I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no

Pack it up and get back home

It kept me going, knowin' I would prove them wrong

Yea, I knew it all along

Without 'em I might have given up a long time ago

And so I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no

Played my music for a man behind a desk

He said, sorry, what you've got, I just don't get

Ah, but here I am today, standin' on this stage

And I wonder even now if he gets it yet

I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no

Pack it up and get back home

It kept me going, knowin' I would prove them wrong

Yea, I knew it all along

Without 'em I might have given up a long time ago

And so I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no

The ones who said I'd never make it

And those who doubted I could take it

I'll owe ya one

I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no

Pack it up and get back home, boy

It kept me going, knowin' I would prove them wrong

Yea, I knew it all along

Without 'em I might have given up a long time ago

And so I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no

Yea, I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no

We'll get back to you on that son

Just keep trying

You know I'm not sure that you guys even look like a star
