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 stuborn 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 pushin me on to my dream,

I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
Pack it up and get back home,
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
Yea I knew it all along,
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,

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,
Standin on this stage,
And I wonder even now if he gets it yet

I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
Pack it up and get back home,
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
Yea I knew it all along,
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,

The ones who said I'd never make it,
Those who doubted I could take it,
I'll owe ya one,

I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
Pack it up and get back home,
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
Yea I knew it all along,
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
Yea I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
