[Verse 1:]
Excuse me, uh
But do you actually have yes in your vocabulary?
I guess it started when I was a kid
If you said I couldn't do it
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 said
I'd never leave
Ah
And you know who you are
You all played a part
In pushing me on to my dream
[Chorus:]
I wanna thank everyone who ever told me no
Pack it up and get back home
It kept me going
Knowing I would prove them wrong
Yeah
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
[Verse 2:]
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
Standing on this stage
And I wonder even now if he gets it yet
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
The ones who said I'd never make it
Those who doubted
I could take it
I'll owe ya one
[Repeat Chorus:]
