Lyrics

(Ooh, ooh, ooh) [Verse 1] One in a million, mama That's good enough for me And you can't make me stay here anyway Now that I'm eighteen With everything she had in a duffle bag She set out to show the world She was more than just a homecoming queen And daddy's little girl [Verse 2] In a cloud of dust on a Greyhound bus She crossed the Cook County line Slept all the way to Nashville Big dreams running through her mind She said, "Sure as I'm breathing I'm going to be a big star someday" Yeah, she was jumping right into the deep end On a leap of sweet blind faith [Chorus] It's about hoping It's about dreaming It's about never not believing It's about taking a walk out on the wire And never looking down It's about living instead of dying It's about spreading your wings and flying Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about trying [Verse 3] It's been six years since she left home And she hasn't made it big yet Oh, but there's no second guessing baby She's got no regrets She still works the late shift down at the Greasy Spoon cafe When she brings you out your milkshake You just might hear her say [Chorus] "It's about hoping It's about dreaming It's about never not believing It's about taking a walk out on the wire And never looking down It's about living instead of dying It's about spreading your wings and flying Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about trying" [Bridge] It's not whether you win or lose It's getting in the game [Chorus] It's about hoping It's about dreaming It's about never not believing It's about taking a walk out on the wire And never looking down It's about living instead of dying It's about spreading your wings and flying Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about trying (It's about hoping) (It's about dreaming) (It's about never not believing) It's all about trying (It's about taking a walk out on the wire) (And never looking down) It's all about trying It's about hoping It's about dreaming It's about never not believing (It's all about trying) It's about taking a walk out on the wire And never looking down It's about hoping It's about dreaming It's about never not believing It's about taking a walk out on the wire And never looking down (na, na, na) It's about hoping It's about dreaming (na, na, na) It's about never not believing It's about taking a walk out on the wire (na, na, na) And never looking down
