Since birth I was set up to lose
Always had a chip on my shoulder or something to prove
Did whatever we could do to try to get through life
My momma worked three jobs just to keep on the lights
And look, that's why I don't wanna let her down
Cause she did too much to give me everything I have now
What would have happened if my father never left?
On second thought, I guess it's probably for the best
You can't imagine all the things that I've seen
But what's court side if you've never sat in the nosebleeds
What good is my dream if it only remains my dream?
Tryna turn a black and white TV into a flat screen
Yeah, I guess I'm being optimistic
But I couldn't do it without dreaming I already did it
And I'm the only one who says if I can
I won't stop until the whole world knows who I am
They say what you can't do
Hate you until they all love you
They set you up to lose
But I'm tryna make my dreams come true
From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide)
From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide)
When'd it all become an inspiration?
I made a song as a fuckin' joke in my mother's basement
Now I spend my days on a bus and my nights on stages
Lookin' back, I guess it's kind of amazin'
I got people with my lyrics tatted on 'em
And I won't lie that it always makes me cry to see how far that I've gotten
Because I've left a mark on someone's life forever
So believe me when I tell you "everything will get better"
From just an average kid, always told me I wouldn't be shit
Dropped out of college, what the fuck can that degree get?
A desk job, a stupid tie, a feeling I'm expendable?
I'd rather be myself and feel like every day's incredible
Yeah, so forget your achievements
If I don't win on this planet, I'm never planning on leaving
And look, I won't stop until everyone knows
I'm taking this from them country roads to the whole damn globe
They say what you can't do
Hate you until they all love you
They set you up to lose
But I'm tryna make my dreams come true
From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide)
From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide)
Who says what you can't do?
Can't nobody be the judge but you
Who says you're not a star?
It don't matter where you're from, it don't matter who you are
Who says what you can't do?
Can't nobody be the judge but you
Who says you're not a star?
It don't matter where you're from, it don't matter who you are
They say what you can't do
Hate you until they all love you
They set you up to lose
But I'm tryna make my dreams come true
From West Virginia to worldwide (to worldwide)
