Michael Sarver - Always Surviving lyrics

He's the youngest kid in the neighborhood A little face in a big old sweatshirt hood He doesn't run or catch too good But he keeps on trying He's kinda short, kinda round Other kids kinda push him around Pulls the hood of that sweatshirt down So they don't see him crying He's the one when they play football They say, "Kid, you go long" So he runs and waves his hands And yells, "I'm open guys, come on" When they finally throw one to him He trips and drops the ball But he gets up, so strong and he hangs on He's got that tiger inside him He's back for more and man, he roars As loud as thunder and lightning Scratchin' and fightin', always surviving He's the man of the house as it is Trying to support a wife and kids Gets a check and stretches it But it won't go much farther Yesterday he heard his boss talking About laying a few folks off He's gotta keep this job But he can't work much harder Comes home in the evening Takes his boots off the door Wraps his arms around the ones He's working so hard for Says, "Honey, don't you worry" She says, "What would I worry for?" "You're up, you're gone before the dawn You got that tiger inside you You go back for more and man, you roar As loud and thunder and lightning Scratchin' and fightin', always surviving" So get up, be strong, keep hanging on You got that tiger inside you Go back for me and when you roar Be loud as thunder and lightning Scratchin' and fightin', never quit tryin' Always surviving
