[Verse 1

Seventeen with a full-time job

Mississippi mud and a blue-collar heart

Back row seats to the football field

He's as tough as they come but they're ready to kill

That small town never had his back

The world's against you but it won't last

[Pre-Chorus

Said it won't last

Looking back now

Here's what he'd say

[Chorus

Yeah

Let 'em call me weird

Let 'em call me wrong

You can count me out

But we're still standin' strong

The judges of the world wanna tell us who we are

But their words run like water off of the scars

Let 'em call me crazy

Call me anything they want

It's the anthem of the underdog

The anthem of the underdog

[Verse 2

California dream in a New York town

What they see on the screen wasn't who she was now

[Pre-Chorus

Man it seems like her life's gone up in flames

Looking back now

She'd give anything to say

[Chorus

Yeah

Let 'em call me weird

Let 'em call me wrong

You can count me out

But I'm still standin' strong

The judges of the world will tell you who we are but

Their words run like water off all the scars

Let 'em call me crazy

Call me anything they want

It's the anthem of the underdog

The anthem of the underdog
